I haven't listened to the podcast yet, but I am interested to hear what they have to say.  I like hearing an opposing opinion as long as the conversation remains civil and doesn't degenerate to pointless name calling.

For example, I was elated that the first comment on my post about Pushy Powergamers defended the practice.  While I still don't agree, I think that Cooperflood did make some interesting points.  Similarly, Bob H and I usually have polar opposite opinions about gaming on the Lords of Tyr podcast, but we get along fine in real life.

It boils down to the fact that gaming is a very personal experience.  I realize that what works for me may not work for everyone else.  More importantly though, I realize that my tastes and opinions may change over time, and that you never know where inspiration for that next great character will come from.  I have often made up a character class/race combo just to see what the fuss was about.  Sometimes I have ended up having a great time playing a character type I never would have expected to enjoy.  Sometimes, not so much.

The advantage of RPGs is that you aren't stuck with the choices you make.  After all, you can always reroll.
