Brad Pitt, Bitcoin & Banter🎙️ Welcome to the second episode of Sixty Seconds!⏱️ Inspired by the legendary Just a Minute on BBC Radio 4, Sixty Seconds is the fast-talking, side-splitting comedy game show where payments meet pure chaos and laughter. The rules? Simple — speak on a payments topic for 60 seconds without hesitation, repetition… or fraud (okay, “deviation,” but we like our fintech spin 😏). Hosted by Mike Chambers, channeling his inner Nicholas Parsons with a fintech flair, each show dives into lively, topical payments themes — from Faster Payments to frictionless checkout, and everything in between. 🎧 In this episode: We welcome back returning champion Zhenya Winter, joined by Laura McCracken and Teresa Connors for another round of payment-themed hilarity. Plus — you’ll finally find out what Laura said to Brad Pitt when he called her about some Bitcoin. 👀💸 Expect laughs, insights, and a dash of payment banter you won’t find anywhere else. |
