Podcast Description and Metadata Optimizer

## CONTEXT
Podcast directories and AI-powered search read your text to decide what your show is about and who to recommend it to. A weak show description, vague episode titles, and wrong categories quietly suppress discovery no matter how good the audio is. Optimized metadata is keyword-aware without being stuffed, it communicates the show's promise to a human in seconds, and it follows each directory's conventions. In 2026, with AI assistants summarizing and recommending podcasts from their metadata, well-structured text is a direct discovery advantage. This prompt optimizes the show description, episode titles, and metadata for both humans and machines.
