Fails WP:GNG. Couldn’t find one source that was directly about this podcast. KidAd • SPEAK 08:15, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. Strong sourcing is somewhat difficult to come by, but enough non-primary references exist (e.g., [1], [2], [3]) to justify a keep. – Broccoli & Coffee ^{(Oh hai)} 23:28, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Two of those sources are incredibly weak. I highly doubt that "xfdrmag.net" is a reliable source. It is, at best, a very indie digital publication that ceased publication in 2018. And the Bloomberglaw piece only mentions the podcast once. KidAd • SPEAK 04:27, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete does not pass WP:GNG. TheWrap source dedicates a single sentence to the podcast and the Bloomberg source is clearly a passing mention. The CrossFader source is okay, but it doesn't appear to be much more than a WP:BLOG run by Thomas Seraydarian, and in the little time that I was on the site I got a weird popup scam (I don't know if that was due to something else related to my computer or if it was the site, but I can't seem to recreate the problem). I also can't find any details about who Carter Moon is. I also did a WP:BEFORE and checked Newspapers.com and couldn't find additional sourcing.

Delete; there are passing mentions in the sources that are compliant sources, but passing mentions are not sufficient to keep. Fails GNG. BilledMammal (talk) 01:59, 15 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
