As someone seriously considering giving this a go (our consulting business is about to complete it's first year, we have built up a good war chest in the bank without any investment, and we're planning our web app right now), I would be foolish not to listen to the advice and experience (with a grain of salt) of those who have come before me and succeeded. Anything that helps me avoid mistakes that others have figured out is a good thing.

The comment above - while maybe tongue in cheek - is short-sighted to say the least.

Thanks for putting these together!

I don't think it was short-sighted. I think his point, while partly intended to be funny, of course, was that spending 12 hours to inject a certain amount of information is inefficient if the same substance could have been gleaned much more quickly in the form of concise, curated chunks of text.
On the other had, you don't have to listen to the podcasts in one session or one day.
And really with the amount of time you will be spending building your startup, 12 hours is nothing. :-)
