Ask HN: Why did YC stop it's podcast/interviews?

Hey HN! I used to really enjoy YC's podcast/interviews from 2017-2019 when Craig Cannon used to host them. Some of the interviews were my absolute favorites!

There were ton of great interviews with folks like Wojciech Zaremba, Greg Brockman, Daniel Gross, Tim Urban, Diana Hu etc.

I wanted to know why YC decided to stop those interviews. They were a wealth of information and Craig was honestly a great interviewer! I realize he has now left to start his own company, but I'm pretty sure someone else can continue the segment.

Please reconsider bringing it back!

Thanks

    Barring official word my bet is that it was the same reason most things stop, cost. Whether that's time, money, or interest it didn't pass some threshold necessary to continue.
