Delete. WP:BLP, with some advertorial overtones, of a podcaster who has a valid potential claim of notability but is nowhere close to reliably sourcing it properly. The referencing here depends almost entirely on primary sources rather than independent ones -- and the closest thing to a solid source, Slate, just namechecks her existence briefly without being about her in any substantive way. And I'm not finding much improved sourcing on a Google News search either -- I get a fair number of glancing namechecks of her existence, but not a lot of coverage about her. No prejudice against recreation if and when somebody can source her better than this -- but a podcaster does not get a Wikipedia article just because it can be referenced to its own download page on iTunes or her staff profiles on the websites of her own past employers.
