I have a better idea. How about a reddit/digg style podcast channel on YC News where users can submit links to mp3s, and the community upvotes them. And then YC offers the top 10 as a podcast feed so you can automatically download them.

mp3s can be on startups, tech, entrepreneurialism etc.

I think thats a great idea. I am just so hungry for good podcasts and I go through them by Wednesday every week. If they can do jobs, podcasts should be easy.

Yes I love some of ITConversations (or whatever it's called now), but it's like drinking from a firehose. I only want to the best ones.

We could also chuck in some classic ones like classic ones on Dr Dobbs etc.

I also want more startup/business related podcasts instead of straight up technology podcasts

Yes! One I like to listen to is Venturevoice.

I like Venture voice, but they haven't had a new podcast in months and I have listened to every single one of their podcasts.

Maybe the reason that IT Conversations still sticks everything into a single RSS feed is that they are secretly hoping for somebody else to do the fancy classifying and tagging for them...

How about audio from the founder dinner speakers?

too bad mp3 is a proprietary format.

You can podcast in OGG, if you insist.

Personally, I like to podcast by sound waves. It's totally cool, I use this flap of skin to move air around and I can podcast to people around me at the same time. It has limited range though....
