 Partly done: The Sidney Award appears to be a notable award in various biographies, and as such I have added it to the article. I am unsure of the notability of the podcast but wouldn't be against its addition. CloakedFerret ( talk) 22:39, 26 March 2024 (UTC) reply

 Not done for now: IT-1978, please provide intependent sources that verify the podcast. Unless other sources have mentioned it, it isn't necessary to be included. ARandomName123 ( talk)^{Ping me!} 01:25, 31 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Hi -- Sure thing. The podcast, which officially launches next week, was discussed on The Pulse radio show and podcast (and linked to in the show notes): https://whyy.org/episodes/discovering-your-true-identity/

The Pulse is a public radio show on more than 100 NPR stations around the country:
