Quick, practical flow:
1) Trigger on publish in Zapier and pass episode metadata and ad timestamp.
2) Generate or pull the ad script (optionally auto-generate with ChatGPT).
3) Call ElevenLabs TTS API to render the host-voice ad (set voice, emotion, format).
4) Use an FFmpeg step (Zapier Code or audio action) to insert the ad, normalize levels, add short fades.
5) Upload final MP3 to your host and update the feed.
