I teach Computer Support for a living so I need to hear about tech trends from a support and development point of view. I also need to like the style of the presenter if I am going to spend time listening to them for months or years. In no particular order.

I also watch several Youtube channels that relate to the same topics but not as much as the time spent on the podcast. Most of my podcast time is driving, washing dishes or other house hold chores.
