I've got no real input other than it would be awesome to get Larry Page. I'm likely in the 1% of the 1% in terms of how many founder stories I've listened to or watched, and I'm not tired of it yet. A good story can come from the most random places. Though I appreciate good intro music so there's a suggestion.

When would you expect to start airing?

I'd love to hear more detail - the past podcasts were interesting but largely fluff. Maybe post a thread on HN asking for volunteers who post a description of their startup and you do live office hours with the highest voted startup each week. On the question of who it would be cool to hear from, I'd love to hear from YC alums talking about their YC experience, not just a sentence about it but going into detail about…

K. What about the YC experience do you want to know more about?

I'd love to have a team you accepted on the podcast right after they got accepted and at various stages of the process (at the very least sometime before demo day and shortly after). Basically get a view into the expectations and what helped them most etc.

Craig, I thought about it more. Hearing about customer development and the nitty gritty details of how the startup reached product market fit would be some details I would like to hear an in depth discussion on.

Can do!

Hopefully before the end of the year.

I really liked hearing the information that was hard to find elsewhere: mostly the story of the company's founding and early days, and their analysis of their markets. Was very useful when interviewing within YC's portfolio!

Audio or video ? Snapchat/Periscope/Facebook Live would be a much better medium. IMHO Justin Kan already demonstrated what works - office hours ! Office hours are YC's killer feature ..and also the reason why Startup School's format also follows office hours. I don't think YC should do a Techcrunchy podcast. If anything - do a weekly Q&A with someone famous where users are able to submit questions . TL;DR - bring the…

audio for now. we kicked around a few ideas re vlogging but decided to start here.

we'll definitely include office hours/q&a tho!
