That's not strictly the audience.  The audience includes FLOSS users, not just
programmers.  The people I bring to the show tend to be programmers, because
I'm more comfortable interviewing people more like me. :) But as a
counter-example, review the episode with Fernanda Weiden: hardly a mention of
coding at all.

Again, while I'm a programmer by trade, Leo certainly is not.  He's a
journalist and broadcaster with a technical passion.  And Leo was the one that
was gushing amazement at the ability for the programming to do such a job.  I
was also amazed, but on a level recognizing how much work it was. :)
