Podcast Repurpose

Podcast-to-video repurposing pipeline. Takes podcast audio (or video podcast) and produces visual content: audiogram or caption-led clips, quote-led social assets, and optional full-episode companion video when the source and asset budget support it. EP orchestration adds quality gates for audio preservation, clip selection, and multi-deliverable consistency.
