Stepwise setup:
1) Record 3–5 min clean samples per host (varied phonemes, consistent mic/room).
2) Create separate voice clones in ElevenLabs Studio and name them.
3) Batch-transcribe episodes to get timestamps and chapter markers.
4) Map transcript lines to speaker and synthesize each speaker’s lines via ElevenLabs API (consistent sample rate/voice params).
5) Import clips into a DAW, align by timestamps, add ambience, mix to -16 LUFS.
6) Export per-chapter files or one file with chapter metadata via ffmpeg.
