Maybe I'm looking into this too much but when I take a couple of other replies and yours together in the same context my takeaway was when you want to hear about the gory details about something development related you'd listen to the show. To me that says from a technical standpoint the show is good but you're not listening to it to be entertained specifically. You may also not be listening to it while doing something else because if technical information is what you're after, you might be focusing fully on the show?

Even if my assessment of your specific case is wrong, it got me to think about a couple of new things such as "what type of mood are people in when they tune in?", "are folks listening to this for pure knowledge, entertainment or something else?", and "what might someone be doing while they're listening to the show?".
