If you could only send 1 Bitcoin podcast to someone you know, as an introduction, which would you recommend?

The Bitcoin Standard Podcast
throw em in the deep end...'path to bitcoin'
Sorry, I should reframe... Which singular episode would you recommend?
Bitcoin for millennials
Wences said 1 Bitcoin would be 1million or zero by now, but I would still recommend this one from 2015.
Econlib
Wences Casares on Bitcoin and Xapo - Econlib
Wences Casares, bitcoin evangelist and founder and CEO of Xapo, talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about how bitcoin works, the genius of bitcoi...
Bitcoin for Millennials & Bitcoin Archive are becoming my favorites to listen to.
I’ll have to check out Bitcoin Archive
You sure know how to make an easy answer hard.
I would go with Simply Bitcoin. Their 10-20 minutes show. Ideally Rustin
The Bitcoin standard podcast
Gross. Why would you send them to a bunch of chart boys running 15 mins of ads per show. Thats the worst one
What is money with Robert Breedlove. He’s got some excellent bitcoin episodes and great philosophy discussions
@nat brunell Coin Stories
To me
Jack mallers show by @jack mallers He is NOT a professional podcaster though 🫡🧡
@Guy Swann reading @Gigi 21 lessons of bitcoin
@Simon Dixon 's Bitcoin Hardtalk, for the win!
No ads, no bullshit.
An intro? Oof. I'm gonna cheat and say I'd give them a copy of the audiobook for Broken Money.
I bought originally in 2013 but then slept hard and that book was finally the alarm clock that got me to get back to actually adding to the stack. Happy to see I no longer need to take cash to the red Moneygram phone at CVS to send it to Bit Instant to get it to MtGox.
Otherwise, maybe The Bitcoin Standard Podcast, if I can make them listen to ALL of it, just because Saif throws in all sorts of stuff that'll come in handy which barely counts as podcast material. Like, right now, he's in the middle of posting his lectures for Principles of Economics. Or just going oldschool and handing them some Andreas Antonopoulos YouTube videos (with the caveat to stay the heck away from Mastering Ethereum 😂).
Granted, they don't really qualify as a 'podcast', but if you need an introduction for someone who is still asking "why should I even care about bitcoin", for my money, nothing beats about a half-dozen or so old Andreas Antonopoulos videos.
Here's one that I just rewatched from 9 years ago that is still pure gold (pun intended):
The best presentation
It's the most entertaining and short. Most People won't listen if they are not entertained
Bitcoin back loans are anti Bitcoin. The whole show is a giant ad for that company . It’s the last thing new Bitcoiners should be exposed too. The underlying message of borrowing fiat money for Bitcoin is contradictory, harmful and risky for newbies. I strongly disagree. That show is nothing but materialism
Andreas is the goat
I like older podcasts. It's crazy how forward looking many of them early bitcoiners were.
His show was what got me into Bitcoin. His series were awesome.
I was already using Bitcoin for payments when I first heard it, but Wences's story about hyperinflation changed my perspective.

What if it was one episode?

Always feel like that may have been like the culmination of all his bitcoin writings. Felt like it brought a lot of things together and was kinda poetic
He orange pilled me as well. Highly recommend
