... for future seasons just because he's such a great personality and he and Open Mike have such tremendous chemistry.
I'd like to see Mike continue this pod as well, he's a great interviewer as a few of us were discussing above.
I wouldn't say he necessarily has to only stick to producers, tho I like some of the ideas you had i.e. Rza. But he can do MCs and/or groups as well, and probably have a similarly quality podcast. He just needs to be selective about which artists he chooses. It'll be hard to follow after PP, for the reasons outlined above and many more.
That was a super fun podcast to listen to. Hope for more.
