Because In Our Time is a radio programme that is also available as a
podcast.
To amplify: Since (as in the example) you get the full archive using
--pid and --pid-recursive, and those options perform downloads, you
should add --type so the correct download stream is selected. This is
somewhat dependent on your options file or presets if you use them, but
is true in the typical case.

get_iplayer caches programme data separately for tv, radio and podcast.
The --type option indicates which cache(s) to search.
Sorry, caching is probably irrelevant to your original question. One
more time: --type also influences which media stream(s) get_iplayer
attempts to download. That's why you usually need --type to download
archived programmes.
