Ask HN: What podcast/newsletter is still missing, and you would pay for?

6 points·simonebrunozzi··7 comments

I am considering producing a podcast and/or newsletter. I have some topics in mind.

I am curious to hear which topic you would find the most interesting, and also topics that are currently not well covered by existing offerings.

Maybe it would be depressing, but it'd be cool to have a post-mortem podcast on failed startups. There are plenty out there, get some war stories from players at companies that exited or died because they ran out of money.

I think I would pick a topic that you're interested in because newsletters/podcasts really only work if you have the passion to see them through.

Yeah I definitely would not pay for a podcast someone was doing because they just need an income, rather than doing it out of a passion for that particular topic.

I feel like if you want to produce a podcast you should just know what you want to talk about and just do it.

But I still would need to decide whether my ideas are worth talking about or not :)

To be honest, I'm torn between a very specific one (on enterprise IT, related to startups and new products), and a more generic one.

Yeah, but I don't think you'll get a great representation here to give you any true market validation. I would go specific if enterprise IT is the area you like, that seems like a great one to get into.

I don't think paying for a podcast or newsletter is very common. Normally they make money with advertising or publishing job offers. Nevertheless, I would love to see more podcasts for learning languages (spoken languages), and newsletters with the latest news on the tech world such as acquisitions, new tool releases, lay-offs, growing companies, etc.
