In emergency preservation mode, the group’s board is meeting here this week to strategize about how to keep their programming alive. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/tv-santa-barbara-6830440/episodes/one-on-one-with-rick-noguchi-newsmakers-with-jr/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/tv-santa-barbara-6830440/one-on-one-with-rick-noguchi-newsmakers-with-jr.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
