I think that's antithesis to the goals of his project. He clearly wants to ask those broad philosophical questions of a variety of influential people, and mostly only talk shop when it relates to that. I think it's one of the appeals of his podcast to perspective guests, although as you mentioned for some people it falls flat.

Coundn't agree more, my understanding is that this podcast if primarely about deeper philosophical questions. And that's exactly what makes this podcast interesting to me! Technical details, on one subject or the other, are easier to come by, but balanced and informed inquiry about deer nature of things across many areas of science is, in my experience, harder to find.
