#184It seems like many people would like some sort of user-submitted Q&A format. In my experience, the Q&A segments of podcast episodes tend to be maybe 1/4 as interesting as the rest of the episode. People being interviewed are more likely to say broadly interesting things when given open space to ideate with the occasional gentle nudge from the interviewer.

#185I would love to hear people from companies that are featured on the Monday macro ..their problems, their solutions, their perspectives, their past failures, their hopes, their practices, their needs, their mentors, their ideas, their backgrounds, their evolving strategies, their milestones,their inspiration, and of course, their successes

#186* Elon Musk * Paul Graham, haven't heard from him lately * Pieter Thiel (ideally a long interview about Trump, Palantir, seastanding, Libertarianism) * Sam Altman (sneak peek into the upcoming MOOC, things he's working on, OpenAI) * OpenAI team * Failed startups: Homejoy to begin with Please ask HN for questions, before going to interview people. Ask deep and difficult questions, and avoid boring, generic questions.
That's an awesome list!
I'd add any atypical startup founder -> energy, agriculture, low tech etc.

#188Market & tech trend analysis would be nice. I think that YC already covers interviews with industry leaders pretty well.
