## Resource

This is a solo episode. In the past I wrote a time limited "stream of consciousness" New Year's post on LinkedIn. This year I decided to do a podcast with the same rules.

## Actions

- request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-global-lithium-podcast-1191702/episodes/episode-227-the-new-year-in-lithium/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode.
- read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-global-lithium-podcast-1191702/episode-227-the-new-year-in-lithium.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.

A page view does not enqueue transcription. Agents should invoke `request_transcript` explicitly when they need this episode processed.

Full transcripts are not published on public pages unless there is a clear rights basis.
