Each was built from a real person's last twelve months in public, read against your six hundred episodes. A one-page brief to read in ten minutes, and a working dossier underneath for when you want the depth. Nothing here is invented; where a thing can't be stood up, it says so. Beneath them sits the rulebook they obey — v0.2, no longer our best reading but your own words, quoted from your shelf and graded claim by claim. Your pen still outranks it.
The optometrist who became a physician. A full pre-record dossier — an opening you can read verbatim, eight questions across three acts, one honest line for the supplement question, the depth underneath. The eye as a window nobody has ever asked him about.
→ read the dossier The same guest · run one — kept on purposeBuilt days earlier, on a smaller engine. Not merged, not retired: the distance between the two runs is the demonstration — the machine gets better between Tuesdays, and you can check its homework.
→ read run oneThe Grand Designs one. Asthmatic, builds around air quality, and lately talking about ageing and mortality "underscoring what we build." Your Environmental Stress pillar in a hard hat — with a booking case that holds up.
→ read the briefThe biggest health podcast in the world — and the man who handed functional dentistry its largest platform yet. Same machine, an aligned guest, to show the shape repeats.
→ read the briefYour rules, no longer guessed — read from your own shelf: the book, the teleprompter scripts, the course scripts, the openings, quoted verbatim. Every claim is graded, and where v0.1 guessed wrong the correction sits in red, because caught errors are part of the product. The amber questions are still yours to answer.
→ mark up the rulesA note on honesty. The archive cross-references cite episode titles and categories only — no transcripts exist yet, so the machine will never put words in your mouth. Once the back catalogue is transcribed, section ④ upgrades from "you covered this" to your exact words. Questions that belong to you are flagged [ASK RON] and left open — that's the invitation, not an oversight.
