Because being knowledgeable about a subject to a degree you can confidently talk about, explain it, and debate it, you need more than just passively listening to people talking about it.

So if I want to be knowledgeable about astronomy for example, merely listening to astronomy podcasts will not provide with the deep knowledge to be a subject matter expert. You need to read, research, take notes, and apply.

Podcasts can be a tool to fortify your knowledge seeking, but not a main tool. On its own it can deceive a person into believing they are learning.

I realize though, that I am highly defining a context that is not true for everybody. Should be fine as an entertainment tool as long a person is cognizant of this fact.
