#112I'll listen if Jessica Livingston interviews.
That would be awesome.

#113"Talk to users" and the surrounding processes/changes/workflows. There's no such thing as "too deep" on this. I'd pay for a podcast where it's JUST that, with a new test every week.

Hey I am an expert on talking to users! That's how we built Stack Overflow, and now Discourse! Pick me. Me me me.

Balaji Srinivasan.

#115Patrick Kennedy of TalkPythonToMe - he's a cool guy and has awesome insights, I think he'd make a great guest.

#116Don't have a single theme. Startup School Radio is great. However, you listen to essentially same stuff again and again. Try mixing things up and give a fresh piece of advice/experience each time.

#117I think it is interesting that when interviewing someone they do not just focus on his job but also on the person himself. The developeronfire podcast is one that comes to mind that has this, which I really do enjoy listening to.

#118Tactical steps YC startups have taken to jump through any one of the de-risking steps: https://codingvc.com/how-to-de-risk-a-startup/ would be fantastic. Especially stories of creative jumps. You could do a poll of the YC network internally and have people share stories that then get mentioned per-problem or per-industry over time. A discussion underneath could allow others to share stories as well - beyond the YC ne…
I would also really like to hear stories like this. Was so enthralled by Leo's post I ended up making a template for derisking: https://blog.codecorps.org/lower-your-startup-risk-with-this...

#119Earlier quoted context omitted.
I agree with this. Also: what woodworking podcast is that?
Wood Talk: http://www.woodtalkshow.com/ I see another commenter posted a different one so it seems the format of 3 people chatting about a topic is popular!
+1 about the 3 people chatting thing. The Energy Gang [1] is one of my all time favorite podcasts and it too follows this format.

#120The type of podcast I'd like to listen to is if you got a roundtable of people in various roles (like a roundtable of all technical founders, or a roundtable of all first employees, or a roundtable of all solo founders), and then asked them questions and let them discuss and debate topics, optimally ones submitted by listeners. And perhaps if a subset of those people were particularly good have them on semi-regularly…
I don't know how long of a debate for a given topic are you imagining. I fear this would dilute the number of topics that can be covered.
