I've been invited to speak on a college morning radio program next week, on the topic of mathematical proof and infinity. It'll be a conversation with two interviewers (no call-ins).
I've not notice anyone mention proofs of the infinitude of primes yet. That should be simple enough for anyone reasonably awake to understand, and introduces both important techniques used in mathematical proof as well as an infinity.
