Podcast Ad Removal

The input is a podcast name.

The episode is the most recent one unless the user names a particular episode by title, number, or date.

If the user names an episode and it cannot be found in the feed, stop and say so.

Never substitute the newest episode for a named one that cannot be found.

Carry outputs forward and do not prompt the user between steps unless a step fails.

Where things live

The project is steamysquirrel at /Users/mtm/pdev/taylormonacelli/steamysquirrel

It holds transcribe.py and remove_ads.py, and a uv environment with faster-whisper installed.

Each run gets its own directory under the project, named by show slug and episode date, such as /Users/mtm/pdev/taylormonacelli/steamysquirrel/aidailybrief-2026-10-15
