## Notes for crawlers
- Canonical URLs use the long form `/Podcast/Details/{slug}` and `/Episode/Details/{slug}`.
- PodParley does not host or distribute podcast audio; audio is streamed from the original publisher.
- Transcript coverage is partial and grows over time; absence of a transcript is not a content gap.
