Comment: Right now I do not think the podcast meets notability, although it's close. I think the two New York Times articles could support notability, but there needs to be some additional long-form coverage to fully meet. ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)Talk to Me! 15:14, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Consists of primary sources (personal blogs). Try adding secondary, independent to the subject and reliable sources. ANUwrites 05:43, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
