Optional. 4. **Episode topic or title** — optional but speeds up research.

Each segment must contain one clear idea, claim, story, or reference. Do not split mid-thought to hit duration. Skip pure filler (intros, banter, sign-offs) unless they contain a reference worth visualizing. For each kept segment, capture: - Approximate timestamp range - Firs
