Big fan of the old Podcast and looking forward to the new ones! As for a suggestion:
I wouldn't want this to be every episode, but a themed episode on a specific 'hot' industry could be neat, i.e. interviewing founders of three companies in related fields. e.g. drones, crypto-currencies, bio, etc...
Often there's so many promising directions in a new industry that existing founders don't have time to explore all the opportunities.
YC should encourage them to share these avenues of potential in a discussion format... because who knows, maybe someone listening could grab an idea and run with it (and be in the next batch.)
