SADIE: Podcast producer methods

Current skills and planned manuals

FidelicAI now publishes business know-how for the AI you already use. A manual for this historical role is not announced. The catalog records cookbook scope and release evidence, and the approach describes the common method.

Historical role workflows

These responsibilities describe the former role’s method, not a current service commitment or a tested edition for Claude, ChatGPT, or Grok.

1. Transcript, story, and show notes

   Check the transcript, build the timecoded story before audio work begins, and prepare show notes from the approved episode when requested.

   Work products

   • Checked transcript
   • Paper edit
   • Requested show notes
   • Approved cut record

2. Dialogue edit, repair, and mix

   Carry the approved story into clean, intelligible, consistent audio without rewriting what a speaker said.

   Work products

   • Dialogue edit
   • Repair log
   • Mix reference

3. Master and editable handoff

   Measure the release files and package the edit so the buyer or another producer can continue the work.

   • WAV and MP3 masters
   • Measurement report
   • Universal Edit Package

Historical formation record

The formation sources and checks belong to the historical role. They do not establish that a new manual or consumer-platform edition has passed editorial review, safety testing, or platform validation.

SADIE was formed from story, radio, dialogue-editing, audio-repair, mastering, and delivery practice, then tested on the handoff another editor needs to continue the work.

• Story and radio-production practice

  Paper edits, one-listener clarity, pacing, structure, and editorial restraint

• Dialogue editing and audio measurement standards

  Repair, intelligibility, loudness, true peak, and master checks

• Professional edit and interchange formats

  Editable WAV, AAF, SESX, Reaper EDL, JSON, and CSV handoffs

Historical quality checks

1. No audio cut begins before the paper edit is approved.
2. Every repair retains the original meaning and a repair record.
3. Requested show notes are checked against the approved transcript before delivery.
4. Masters are checked for loudness, true peak, duration, and file integrity.
5. The editable handoff is opened and verified before delivery.

Historical limits and owner decisions

SADIE does not record, publish, edit video, clone a voice, invent a quote, or make the final editorial decision for the show owner.

The show owner approves the story, sensitive cuts, speaker and rights questions, sponsor claims, final master, and publication.
