I'm listing to this now; I'm very alarmed at Dr Adam Posen's comments (21:30) considering he's a money adviser to governments. Interesting that he's branded all Bitcoin users as right-wing and bitcoin itself as insecure. Where do they get these experts?

Note: the iPlayer doesn't work if you're outside the UK, but you can download the podcast via the BBC Radio 4 podcast page. I think the program you're looking for is called something like "the Report".

It was a great piece! Nice to hear real journalism for a change.

Interesting to hear about some big investors piling in. It sounds like people are starting to take Bitcoin a lot more seriously!

I was on that program, I was the taxi driver. 
Ha! Nicely done, sir!

Really!? (Not that I'd expect an honest answer on any forum, I suppose). If so, that's fun. Cab, journalist, BitCoin... Cool.
This was the first report that I've heard that just sort of covered the BitCoin phenomenon and avoided all the economist naysayer crap. This one actually talks about the suit and tie guys buying in huge quantities.
Anyway...it was a good listen for rookies and experts alike. And if you were the cabbie then your "place in history" has been documented.

There's a rip in the Press section now if anyone is blocked by the BBC.

Nice! Very nice piece of coverage. Though I was disappointed to hear Amir say that 20,000 * 100 is 200,000 .... not quite!

How long after it is aired do they make it so that you can replay it?
