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.
