Add Big Bend location signal to homepage metadata and llms.txt
The site carried no geographic signal at all: the homepage title, description and schema keywords never mentioned Alpine, Marfa or the Big Bend, and llms.txt still described the show as broadcasting from a fictional desert hermit's RV and being produced in New Mexico. - Homepage title, description and OG/Twitter tags now lead with Alpine, Texas and name the surrounding towns; keywords put the location terms first - PodcastSeries schema gains contentLocation with Alpine's real coordinates (from BIG_BEND_TOWNS), spatialCoverage for the region, and an about array covering Alpine, Marfa, Terlingua, Big Bend National Park and the Marfa Lights - llms.txt: corrects the setting throughout, adds the region to Key Facts, and answers "what places does the show talk about" - Fixes the stale "37+ episodes" in five places, using 50+ so it ages better - Corrects three claims that were also wrong on How It Works: 68 voice profiles (now 82), adaptive call shapes (deleted system), and 5 recording stems (now 7) Also adds the Tier 2 plan for crawlable per-episode pages.

|
||||
|
||||

Luke at the Roost is a one-of-a-kind podcast that blends real callers with AI-generated characters in a late-night call-in radio format. The show broadcasts from Alpine, Texas — the hub of the Big Bend region of far West Texas — and its callers come from Alpine, Marfa, Marathon, Terlingua, Fort Stockton, Fort Davis, Presidio and the Big Bend backcountry. Host Luke MacNeil takes calls about relationships, life decisions, workplace drama, and everything in between, alongside real human callers, creating an unpredictable and comedic listening experience.
|
||||
|

The show is entirely custom-built: callers are generated in real-time using large language models with structured personality systems, text-to-speech voices are matched to personality traits, and the entire production pipeline — from recording to post-production to publishing — is automated.

## What Makes It Unique
|
||||
|
||||
- **AI-generated callers**: Each caller is created in real-time with structured backgrounds, personality traits, communication styles, and emotional states using large language models
|
||||
- **Voice-personality matching**: 68 voice profiles are matched to caller personalities using a scoring system
|
||||
- **Adaptive call shapes**: Calls follow different dramatic arcs (escalation, revelation, debate, etc.) matched to personality types
|
||||
- **AI-generated callers**: A roster of ten callers is written at the top of each show, each with an identity, the situation they're in, the reason they're calling that night, a secret want, and an emotional register
|
||||
- **Real Big Bend geography**: Callers are grounded in accurate facts about Alpine, Marfa, Marathon, Terlingua, Fort Stockton and Big Bend — the Marfa Lights, the Chinati Foundation, the Gage Hotel, the Terlingua chili cookoff, Sul Ross State University, the McDonald Observatory — and are held to real places rather than invented ones
|
||||
- **Voice-personality matching**: Callers are matched to a voice from an 82-voice roster that fits their age and character
|
||||
- **Anti-collision rosters**: No two callers in a show may share an obsession, profession archetype or story theme
|
||||
- **Live research intern**: An AI character named Devon monitors conversations and provides real-time research using web search tools
|
||||
- **Multi-stem recording**: Host, caller, music, SFX, and ads are recorded as separate audio stems
|
||||
- **Multi-stem recording**: Host, caller, Devon, music, SFX, ads and station idents are recorded as seven separate audio stems
