While ABC Radio National is the best network in the world, its charter is not to alienate its audience with academically precise minutiae of scholarship. It is, among other things, tasked with making knowledge accessible, and despite repeated attempts by conservative Australian governments we are periodically electing to destroy it, remarkably good at doing exactly that. I find it really easy to forgive its inaccuracies.
Please keep in mind the nature of the links you quote, though. For instance, All in the Mind, the program the podcast has been lifted from, is basically a sort of highbrow version of infotainment, as are most of the others, such as The Science Show, The Law Report, The Philosopher's Zone, more obviously Late Night Live and so forth.
