I think you may want to be a bit more specific about what ideas you're thinking about having in this podcast. There are a lot of areas that fall under technology/startups. :-)

  There are indeed—I am trying to keep it as open-ended as possible. I think it's best to first find people who mesh well together, and then let the podcast evolve. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.

    So true, part of reason why I loved The Screen Savers back in the day - there was pure chemistry with the cast. Even though they're rock stars individually, the cohesion made it what it was.

      I'm 'soft' interested, although between Mixergy and everything else, I'm already having a hard time finding time to consume it all. The question I'd have is, given all the free high quality stuff stuff for people like us, all the audio/video/text on this topic, do I really need yet another place vying for my time? I'm not being negative, just saying that I'd like to know the differentiation.

I'd recommend just going for it solo and make a short one to draw interest. That said, I've been doing one for a while with a co-host at http://foundercast.com/ http://foundercast.com/ and it has been a lot of fun but it's a lot easier with another person. Good luck.

If you're focused on entrepreneurship and startups, possibly themes around debunking startup myths (e.g. you HAVE to get VC) then I'd be interested!

will it be about Dwarf Fortress?

  The first episode could be about defending your fortress from elephants by flooding the outside world with lava.

I think it would be interesting if the podcast is about the stories shared on Hacker News (ala Diggnation). (e.g. Discuss the most upvoted stories and comments)
- dwynings 17y ago
  I definitely was considering that—at the very least as a segment of the show.

  and maybe a segment on stories that didn't make it to the front page but we think the HN audience would LOVE - I'm sure there are plenty of these.
