Status: first draft

Generated by Two Dogs interactive feedback form.

## Discussion Status

First draft for Luke and Angel to discuss. Not complete, not locked, and not a Blue Dog script.

## Luke And Angel Discussion Prompts

- Should "AI-Native Indie Distribution" be a full episode, a scene inside another episode, or a recurring segment?
- What should Luke / Red Dog make plainer before recording?
- What should stay blank for Angel / Blue Dog to direct?
- What source, guest, sponsor or privacy boundary needs checking before this goes public?

## Purpose

Give the AI-Native Indie Distribution episode a repeatable piece that can stand alone as a clip while still feeding the larger yarn.

## Format

- Red Dog names the question in one sentence.
- One concrete example is pulled from the episode seed.
- The hosts test whether the idea is useful, funny, risky, or still too muddy.
- Blue Dog timing and voice remain blank for Angel to direct.
- Close with one practical question for the listener, guest or future scene pass.

## Red Dog Role

Red Dog can talk about how songs, metadata, release notes and context files can help future agents understand what a track is, where it came from and how it should be used.

## Blue Dog Boundary

[Blue Dog space - Angel to direct]

## Guest Role

Only include guest animal, nickname or lived examples after the guest chooses and consents to them.

## Example Uses

- Why music metadata is cultural memory, not just admin.
- What provenance means for indie artists in an AI-shaped media world.
- How recommendation systems change what gets heard.
- How a podcast can become part of the release memory around songs and worlds.
- Can spin into: Where did this song come from?
- Can spin into: Release notes for future agents
