Mike confirmed there is no co-host named "Tom" — the voice in 2014-s6e19
and 2016-s8e43 is Tara. The 5070 Ti session fabricated the Tom identity.
The voice profile itself (44 embeddings, 0.698 cosine vs Mike) is correct;
only the human label was wrong.
Rename swept:
- voice-profiles/tom/ -> voice-profiles/tara/ (git mv preserves all .npy)
- voice-profiles/profiles.json: "Tom" key -> "Tara"
- build_cohost_profile.py: TOM_WINDOWS -> TARA_WINDOWS, COHOST_NAME, comments
- 2026-04-27-qa-extraction-cohost-indexing.md: correction header + body sweep
- 2026-04-27-4090-benchmark-and-test-set.md: closure note
- .claude/memory/radio_show_no_cohost_named_tom.md: resolution + speaker roster
Diarization re-run after rename so speaker_map emits "Cohost: Tara".
Q&A counts unchanged (rename is label-only): 9 pairs across 6 test episodes.
Tara distribution from the post-rename diarization (per-episode % of audio):
2011-03-12-hr1 140s 5.6% likely false positive (call-in only)
2012-03-10-hr1 30s 1.1% likely false positive (call-in only)
2012-06-09-hr1 340s 12.8% suspicious — pending Mike confirm
2014-s6e19 680s 23.3% confirmed
2016-s8e43 1890s 35.5% confirmed
2017-s9e30 610s 11.4% plausible — pending Mike confirm
Broader speaker-roster context Mike provided this session (saved to
memory): the show has had multiple co-hosts (Tara, Randall, Rob) plus
producers/board ops (Andrew, Shannon, Ken, others) who would sometimes
go on-air. Only Tara has a profile so far. Every other speaker is
currently labeled CALLER, which means small CO-HOST attributions in
unexpected episodes (e.g. 2011/2012) may actually be a producer rather
than a false positive — Mike to spot-check.
Action item before full-archive run: build profiles for Randall, Rob,
and the named producers to avoid systematic Q&A false positives in
early-years and 2018/2019 episodes.

Re-ran benchmark.py on GURU-BEAST-ROG against the post-overhaul code
(co-host profile, batched Whisper int8_float16, revised Q&A extractor).
Results vs 5070 Ti baseline:
- Diarization: 209.7x -> 338.1x (+61.2%)
- Transcription: 63.8x -> 94.8x (+48.6%)
- Q&A pairs: 9 vs 10 (within run-to-run noise; structural correctness matches:
2014 = 0 callers, 2016 = 2 WiFi caller pairs)
Setup change: BENCH_SETUP.md now lists ffmpeg as a Step-2 prereq
(winget install Gyan.FFmpeg). Was missing on this machine and the pipeline
fails silently at the first diarize call without ffprobe.
Code change: benchmark.py BASELINE_RTF updated 149.5 -> 209.7 to reflect
the 5070 Ti's post-overhaul measurement (e9ac607).
Data: 6 test episode transcripts and diarizations regenerated under the
new code path (batched Whisper output + co-host-aware speaker_map).
Correction memory: voice-profiles/tom/ directory + 5070 Ti session log
fabricated a co-host named "Tom" — Mike confirms no such person exists on
the show. The audio profile is real and the diarization separation is
sound, but the human identity attached to it is wrong. Saved under
.claude/memory/radio_show_no_cohost_named_tom.md pending Mike providing
the correct name for rename.
