have you listened to a more recent episode (eg this one)? the early episodes sounded like avant-garde sound experiments but the newer ones are much closer to TAL-style editing, just more people talking. they've acknowledged this criticism at least once in an episode.

I think I listened to a reasonably recent one when the Furby source code was released recently. Podcasts are one of my favorite ways to relax and I still found it jarring.
