What are you working on? Any new ideas which you're thinking about?

I'm working on a little website to summarize discussion trends across the podcast ecosystem. I wrote about an early prototype here[1] and also gave a presentation about it a few months ago[2] and now I'm working on an expanded "daily pulse" view across hundreds of episodes of top news podcasts from the last few days.

My secret agenda is to explore how the "information supply chain" can be tracked across the data-processing stack all the way from the original audio through transcription, the processing pipeline, and UI. I'm using language models for multi-stage summarization and want to be able to follow the provenance of summaries all the way back to the transcripts and original audio.

This is such a good visualization idea. I'd like to see some of the webinars and work calls I am on represented this way in the after-call summary

Thanks!

Yes, you could try making one using Observable Plot (which is what I used for these): https://observablehq.com/plot/transforms/dodge

One of the slides in my presentation has the full prompt I used, in case that's useful. I ran it on chunks of the podcast transcript and then merged/deduplicated the results to get the data that's visualized here.
