Applied Media Intelligence
01 / The practice
Media discovery is moving across podcasts, video, voice interfaces and participatory environments. Radio contributes something durable: a live voice, a shared moment and an editorial point of view.
We explore where machine assistance can support that work. Generated output is a material to evaluate. People remain responsible for its use.

Local speech synthesis and audio production for narration, jingles and station identity.
A geographic news interface connecting reports, source links and spoken summaries.
Structured public media discovery through MCP, with live context over SSE.
02 / Audio production
Editorial intent, tone and pronunciation.
Local QwenTTS narration and iteration.
FFmpeg processing and music ducking.
Human approval before broadcast use.
RTAI Jingle prepares audio. Deterministic playout remains a separate broadcast responsibility.
03 / Agentic interfaces
Connection guideCompatible assistants can discover public media context through MCP. Public reads need no account; a studio booking follows a permissioned, confirmed workflow.

04 / Research directions
Context gathering and production assistance that keep judgement with an editor.
Investigating how language and voice interfaces can widen access.
Making programme context more useful for discovery and compatible assistants.
Studying participation with proportionate data use and measurable questions.
These are areas of investigation, not a list of released products.
Start with a real need in the studio, the audience or the campus.
Build a focused experiment with a clear boundary.
Evaluate sound, latency, accessibility and operational behaviour.
Connect the result to a workflow that people can own.
Share evidence, decisions and code where practical.
