@Jeffro You should definitely keep your ears in there. And even if you feel like you should refrain from making suggestions that might not be core-related, share your opinion if something comes up that you have suggestions about.

I for one wish I had time to participate more. But my work and family commitments make it difficult to sit in on the IRC chats. Your podcast is one of my regulars for my work commute, so when you report on some of the highlights, it helps keep me in touch with where things are going, beyond what might come up in the mailing lists.
