Probably because it is the low bitrate version (48Kbps).
Check it out with MediaInfo program.

Add "--mode=flashaaclow" to the command .
(Though I've found that low bitrate versions are sometimes not available for 
*all* the radio shows)

This is a sample command to try:-
get_iplayer --type=radio --pid=b036jc3t --mode=flashaaclow
