If you don't like it then don't tune in. I never read any of the articles here nor listen to the podcast. The content creators and their abilities speak for themselves. I don't complain about or start threads to criticize them, either. I will read and listen to Citius, though also not a stan. Tone aside, the latter has trained and seasoned journalists leading the way and it shows. The former is run by self-made bloggers who lack real qualifications, and it routinely shows. Just how I see it, not complaining either way. It's okay that people like that sort of thing. It is clear to me that skilled journalists can get subjects to open up about things with nuance and personal appeal and unskilled journalists shut down conversation with a bitter demeanor and clumsy, blunt approach. Some people are fans of the TMZ gotcha stunt approach and some will be fans of a more thoughtful Terry Gross style. Ultimately, when you self-sabotage access you certainly do your potential audience a disservice. That's a fact. And the LRC staff are clearly fine with that.
