Yup, my thoughts exactly as well. You don't even need a host I think? I remeber Daniel Gross, Kat Menalac, Sam Altman, Geoff Ralston helping out with the interviews. I'm sure it would've evolved to become a great source of founder stories. Sigh.

very true, but I'm talking about the interviews that they used to do with different founders in a conversation type format. I really enjoyed Craig's detailed questions and thorough research.
I remember listening to the episode with the Voodoo co-founders [1], and it helped guide my research direction in college.
I also remember being exposed to an early flavour of RL through the episode with Greg Brockman and Sam Altman [1], where they spoke about the OpenAI DoTA bots. I regularly listen to episodes again and I always unearth some bits of wisdom that I overlooked in previous listens.
I think that series of interviews was largely due to PG and Sam's idealogy of structuring YC (and now OpenAI) as a college campus/research institute, rather than an incubator/VC fund.
