There is a podcast I really loved called the Future of Coding, where they dived into cool CS papers, which now has turned into 2.5 hours of two people talking about everything that tangentially related to the topic at hand, with no editing. I really do not know who their target audience is.
I don't have 2.5 hours to dedicate to a single podcast episode, on a topic that might be quite complex, while having to suffer through jokes and poor pacing.

Then they listen to those rambling podcasts to "keep up to date" about what's happening to whoever they chose to follow. I had a colleague at work who listened to a YouTube "podcast" that was 3-4 hours per episode, they just had it on a second screed yammering away while they worked. I don't get it.
