As far as I can tell, this was aired by Swedish TV as "Snillen spekulerar" (they have been doing a programme like this every year since approximately the dawn of TV time), and by the BBC as "Nobel Minds". So, it has to fit into a TV schedule slot, and be appropriate for a general audience, not just science nerds.

Yes, the original title of the post included Nobel Minds 2018, but it was modified to emphasize the description. I discovered the Nobel Minds series a few years ago. I think last year's was better, but I agree, the episodes can be hit or miss. They should let Joe Rogan do the interviews -- he's been interviewing a bunch of leading scientists of late (Sir Roger Penrose a couple weeks ago) -- Rogan's our modern day Charlie Rose -- he let's them talk and it evolves into interesting conversations.
