I really felt this too. Would have loved it if someone like TychoCelchuuu - CoH 1 expert who has been critical of CoH 2 - was on the podcast to add an accurate analysis of what's majorly wrong concerning balance stuff, both on the meta-strategy level and micro level.
Enjoyed listening to the podcast overall though. I was a little surprised to hear Rob's review's score was 3.5. I fall on Team Tom's side in regards to game reviews.
