How it works
The callers are generated at the top of each session — a name, an age, a town, a reason for calling and something they want but will not say outright. Then they call, and I have to talk to them live with no second take.
Underneath: ten concurrent WebSocket audio streams, five-provider model failover so an outage cannot end an episode, and seven audio channels recorded as separate stems so post-production has something to work with.
