Production
Something the station makes rather than something it says: several beats of speech, written in several passes, that airs as one block
Attributes (18)
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
id | string | Yes | read-only |
kind | string | Yes | What sort of production: podcast, bulletin, feature. Free text, so a station that wants a documentary strand needs no migration |
title | string | Yes | |
brief | string | No | What was asked for, in the operator's own words. Distinct from the title, which is only a label |
notes | string[] | No | What it may state as fact, one short note each. The outline divides them between the beats, and nothing else it says is offered as fact |
sources | ProductionSource[] | No | What it was handed to read. Its notes are taken from these by the research pass when nobody gave it any |
research | boolean | No | Whether it was asked to find its own sources on the operator's trusted sites. read-only |
personaId | string | No | Who presents it. Absent falls back to the station's active persona when a pass runs |
writingMode | 'quick' | 'outlined' | 'polished' | Yes | How many passes to spend on it |
targetMs | number | Yes | How long it should run. What the beat count and the per-beat word budgets are computed from |
state | 'planned' | 'researching' | 'outlining' | 'drafting' | 'checking' | 'rendering' | 'stitching' | 'ready' | 'aired' | 'failed' | 'cancelled' | Yes | researching is its sources being read for notes. stitching is the beats being joined into one piece of audio, and it leads to ready whether that worked or not. read-only |
