It has a low journalism factor. When one writes an article, it's important to deliver to the reader certain facts right away; who's involved, setting, etc.

This article starts with "a podcast" and then doesn't say which one. It then goes on for a while not giving the reader who isn't privy to the background any relevant context. So we're left having to re-read the whole thing twice just to parse what the fuck it's about.

Trash writing.
