- Fine-grained speaker analysis (3s windows, 1s hop) across 42min episode
- Host voice: 0.90-0.98 similarity (clear positive match)
- Callers: 0.65-0.68 (correctly below threshold)
- Produced audio/clips: 0.53-0.65 (correctly identified as non-host)
- Co-host/other speakers: 0.56-0.62 (correctly identified)
- Tuned host_match_threshold from 0.75 to 0.83 based on empirical data
- Cross-referenced dips with transcript: correctly identifies callers,
show intros, played audio clips, and station breaks
- Batch transcription of 7 additional training episodes in progress

- Voice profiler using microsoft/wavlm-base-sv (512-dim x-vector embeddings)
- Bootstrap from archive: 180 embeddings from 9 episodes across 2010-2018
- Host identification accuracy: 0.87-0.98 similarity for live speech,
0.60-0.64 for non-host audio (produced intros, co-host)
- Dropped speechbrain dependency (requires torchaudio, CUDA version conflicts)
- Patched torchaudio CUDA 12.8/13.1 version check (warning instead of error)
- Profile stored in voice-profiles/mike-swanson/ with per-chunk embeddings

- Audio processor CLI tool with 6-stage pipeline: transcribe (faster-whisper GPU),
diarize (pyannote), detect segments (multi-signal classifier), remove commercials,
split segments, analyze content (Ollama)
- Post-show workflow doc for episode posts, forum threads, deep-dive blog posts
- Training plan for using 579-episode archive for voice profiles and commercial detection
- Successful test: 45min episode transcribed in 2:37 on RTX 5070 Ti
- Sample transcript output from S7E30 (March 2015)
