This summary is grounded in the raw hosted-media inventory under raw/other/jeff-crank-hosted-media/, plus the later recovered YouTube candidate audio package under raw/audio/jeff-crank-show-recovered-audio-2026-04-28/. The capture used the current American Potential Podbean archive, Podbean transcript URLs exposed in episode metadata, the American Potential YouTube channel's existing autogenerated caption files for matched Jeff-hosted/probable rows, Wayback-preserved Captivate RSS feeds for The Jeff Crank Show, a Podchaser public-API recovery of feed-missing Jeff Crank Show podcast rows, bounded SoundCloud surface checks, a source-only transcript recovery pass over The Jeff Crank Show public platform surfaces, an approved ASR attempt that found the retained Captivate media URLs inaccessible, and a separate YouTube candidate pass that recovered audio and local ASR for six pre-2020 search-result leads.
The inventory distinguishes shows Jeff Crank hosted from appearances where he was merely interviewed. Guest appearances and post-transition episodes without Jeff-host evidence are excluded from the hosted-show corpus.
| Show | Medium | Host-role status | Inventory basis | Date range in captured rows | Completeness label |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Jeff Crank Show | radio / podcast archive | confirmed at show level | Wayback-preserved Captivate RSS feed plus secondary Podchaser public-API rows exposing Captivate URLs | 2020-10-17 to 2022-12-24 | incomplete with known missing ranges before the podcast-era inventory |
| American Potential | podcast | confirmed at launch; episode-level after host transition | current Podbean paginated show archive | 2022-12-22 to 2025-01-09 for confirmed/probable Jeff-hosted rows | complete to the best available evidence for the current Podbean archive, with host status classified per episode |
| Show | Episode rows captured | Jeff-hosted confirmed | Jeff-hosted probable | Not Jeff-hosted / excluded rows | Transcript/caption files captured | Transcript status notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Jeff Crank Show | 131 | 131 | 0 | 0 | 0 for the 131-row Captivate / Podchaser inventory; 4 candidate hosted YouTube clips have autogenerated captions and generated ASR outside that inventory | 110 rows from archived RSS plus 21 feed-missing rows from Podchaser metadata; source-only recovery checked Captivate/RSS variants, Podchaser, Apple public search, Spotify public pages where IDs existed, and Wayback manifests; no transcript/caption surface recovered for those rows; approved ASR attempt produced 0 transcripts because all retained audio URLs returned 403; later YouTube recovery added 4 candidate hosted clips plus 2 related non-hosted leads |
| American Potential | 426 | 230 | 13 | 183 | 4 Podbean SRT files; 243 primary YouTube VTT files; 1 additional Spanish-original VTT | hosted/probable subset primary statuses: 4 platform-provided transcript, 239 autogenerated captions/subtitles, and 0 no transcript found |
For American Potential, the four captured transcript files are platform-provided SRT files exposed by Podbean metadata. The source surface did not state whether those SRTs are official, edited, or autogenerated, so the inventory does not escalate them beyond platform-provided transcript.
The follow-up YouTube pass captured existing VTT caption files for all 243 confirmed/probable Jeff-hosted American Potential rows. These are labeled autogenerated captions/subtitles, not official transcripts. Three of the Podbean SRT rows also have YouTube caption captures, so file counts and primary episode transcript-status counts are intentionally distinct.
A separate The Jeff Crank Show YouTube recovery pass captured autogenerated-caption transcripts for four candidate hosted JCS clips and two related non-hosted Jeff Crank media leads. The later local-audio pass downloaded all six YouTube audio files and generated small.en ASR transcripts for all six. These generated transcripts are review aids, not official or platform-provided transcripts; the two related non-hosted rows remain outside the hosted-show corpus unless stronger source evidence emerges.
