Porkopolis Economics covers macroeconomics, money, and sports from the creator of the Crypto Voices podcast, Matthew Mezinskis.

M0 is NOT the monetary base. M0 is simply physical currency (cash) in circulation; that is, OUTSIDE of bank vaults! The Monetary base (also discussed in this video) is M0 + Vault cash (cash in bank vaults, per the name) + Bank reserves (this is analogous to the Master "bank account" that each bank holds with the Central bank).
