According to http://freakonomics.com/2014/02/25/what-does-the-mt-gox-meltdown-mean-for-bitcoin-maybe-not-much/ there will soon be a freakonomics podcast on bitcoin. Now they have an estimated 750 000 podcast listeners per episode (Some of it also goes out on public radio, not sure what the numbers there are). Now this is a factor ~14 less than the estimated viewership of The Good Wife, but the demographics are a great fit for bitcoin. Whereas the median age of a "The Good Wife" viewer is 60 the freakonomics listeners are

Our listeners are, in a nutshell: rather male (77%); relatively young (45% are 25-35 years old, another 24% are 35-44); well-educated (38% have a graduate degree; another 43% have a bachelors degree); and according to the survey data at least pretty well-off (17% earn more than $150,000 and another 23% earn between $100,000 and $150,000; then there are the 14% who earn between $0 and $30,000, most of whom are likely students).

Here is a graph showing the distribution of occupations

Also, they are obviously interested in economics and unlike the case in the Good wife episode, it will be clear from the context that Bitcoin is a real thing and not a figment of some scriptwriter's imagination.

They tend to see things in a way what would seem to a layman to be contrary to the way it looks.

To anyone not 'in the know' Bitcoin is looking a bit disastrous right now. But I think these guys will argue (rightly) the opposite may be the real truth.
