Guest name patterns
Every one of this show's 111 episode titles has the same shape — a name or subject, then a tune in parentheses: Bruce Molsky (Can I Change My Mind), Shoulder rests (Julia Delaney).[unverified]
That uniformity is not as helpful as it looks, because the show is really two shows sharing a feed. Roughly a quarter are guest interviews; the rest are solo lessons, and a lesson is titled like a sentence rather than like a person. The pattern below therefore matches on the *shape of a name*: two or three words, every one of them capitalised. "Bruce Molsky" passes and "Why we squeak" does not, because "we" is lowercase.[unverified]
Five lesson titles happen to be capitalised throughout and slip past that test, so they are skipped by name above it. First match wins, which is why the skips come first.[unverified]
The tune in the parentheses is deliberately not captured. It is a topic worth recording and there is nowhere good to put it yet — the episode template has no field for a tune, and putting a tune in Has topic beside a person would say the episode was about both equally. Worth revisiting once tunes have pages.[unverified]
