Full program and record at the station. Assembled from the transcript.

extractive — assembled from the transcript, no model. Every line is a working draft — a producer edits it in Publisher before anything goes out.

The tape is embedded from YouTube, never rehosted. Rendering the clips as video needs the desk — this page composes, it does not cut. Community Publisher is a Community AI Project tool.
