Amanda Petrusich is a woman.

I'm more surprised that podcasts and audiobooks aren't mentioned. I only listen to music at the gym and at work. When I'm travelling I like to listen to stuff that will push me but when I'm working I just use music to block the noise.

While it's inconsiderate to the author to get her pronouns right, does her being a man or woman have any bearing on the article or the above criticism of it?

Not especially, I was going to make the 2nd part of my comment regardless.

I am however trying to consider the author more as I read online though in this case I don't think it adds any additional context.
