This source cluster normalizes the non-CTE side of the Chaim Goldman / The Peak hosted-media corpus: official The Peak News episode metadata, the current The Peak Podcasts page capture, and the completed generated-ASR index rows that surface citizen-journalist, investigation, local politics, and election-integrity patterns.
The official episode inventory and page capture are the stronger source layer for episode titles, dates, descriptions, URLs, and host lines. The generated ASR files are discovery aids from retained audio; exact wording, timestamps, and names should be checked against audio before quotation or contested factual use.
34 rows with citizen-journalist / investigative-journalist terms, 20 rows with hate-crime / Yemi terms, 14 rows with election-security / election-integrity terms, and 24 rows with CTE / internship / recruitment terms.

Citizen-Journalist, Internships, Academy, and Educational Foundation pages; forms; volunteer agreements; assignment practices; editorial policies; and fiscal records.Use this summary to keep The Peak's adult volunteer / citizen-journalist media apparatus distinct from the D11 CTE official-record question. The two lanes may share infrastructure and recruitment language, but the supported finding is a public media mechanism, not a proven flow of students, campaign work, money, data, or institutional control.
