Prompt 1: Context Setup

You are an expert data extractor tasked with analyzing a podcast transcript. 
I will provide you with part 1 of 1 from a podcast transcript. 
I will then ask you to extract different types of information from this content in subsequent messages. Please confirm you have received and understood the transcript content.

Transcript section:
[00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:07.040] I'll get one pepperoni pizza, please.
[00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:10.480] All right, that'll be $11.
[00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:12.160] $11?
[00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:15.040] Your sign says it's only $10.
[00:00:15.040 --> 00:00:19.840] Yes, but there's $1 of sales tax.
[00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:21.760] Sales tax?
[00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:23.200] What's that?
[00:00:28.560 --> 00:00:32.960] Did you know that the cost of that delicious pizza includes more than just the ingredients?
[00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:35.120] There's also something called sales tax.
[00:00:35.120 --> 00:00:39.440] When you buy a $10 pizza, you might think that the $10 is all you're paying.
[00:00:39.440 --> 00:00:43.360] But depending on where you live, there may be a sales tax added to your bill.
[00:00:43.360 --> 00:00:49.040] Sales tax is a percentage of the total cost of a product or service that is added on at the time of purchase.
[00:00:49.040 --> 00:00:57.200] In the case of our $10 pizza, if the sales tax rate is 10%, then the total cost of the pizza would actually be $11.
[00:00:57.200 --> 00:00:58.160] Wow!
[00:00:58.160 --> 00:01:00.960] Who gets all that sales tax money?
[00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:02.880] Why, it's the government, of course.
[00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:06.880] Sales tax is an important source of revenue for governments at all levels.
[00:01:06.880 --> 00:01:11.840] Governments use this revenue to pay for essential services like roads and schools.
[00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:13.520] But I don't get it.
[00:01:13.520 --> 00:01:19.120] If that money's for the government, how come the pizza place put it in their cash register?
[00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:27.520] Governments outsource the pain of collecting sales tax to businesses because it's cheaper than having a government agency collect the tax directly from each customer.
[00:01:27.520 --> 00:01:32.000] This approach puts the burden of compliance on businesses rather than on the government.
[00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:38.080] I can see how that's easier for the government, but doesn't that make it way harder on the small business owner?
[00:01:38.080 --> 00:01:39.440] Well, you know what they say.
[00:01:39.440 --> 00:01:42.400] If you can't stand the heat, get out of the pizza business.
[00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:46.160] Gee, I'm more confused about sales tax than ever.
[00:01:46.160 --> 00:01:47.280] So there you have it.
[00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:50.880] Sales tax is a small but important part of our daily lives.
[00:01:50.880 --> 00:01:57.040] The next time you're enjoying a delicious pizza, remember that there may be a little extra added on for sales tax.
[00:01:57.040 --> 00:01:59.760] Thanks for tuning in and happy eating.

Prompt 2: Key Takeaways

Now please extract the key takeaways from the transcript content I provided.

Extract the most important key takeaways from this part of the conversation. Use a single sentence statement (the key takeaway) rather than milquetoast descriptions like "the hosts discuss...". 

Limit the key takeaways to a maximum of 3. The key takeaways should be insightful and knowledge-additive. 

IMPORTANT: Return ONLY valid JSON, no explanations or markdown. Ensure:
- All strings are properly quoted and escaped
- No trailing commas
- All braces and brackets are balanced
Format: {"key_takeaways": ["takeaway 1", "takeaway 2"]}

Prompt 3: Segments

Now identify 2-4 distinct topical segments from this part of the conversation.

For each segment, identify:
- Descriptive title (3-6 words)  
- START timestamp when this topic begins (HH:MM:SS format)
- Double check that the timestamp is accurate - a timestamp will NEVER be greater than the total length of the audio
- Most important Key takeaway from that segment. Key takeaway must be specific and knowledge-additive.
- Brief summary of the discussion

IMPORTANT: The timestamp should mark when the topic/segment STARTS, not a range. Look for topic transitions and conversation shifts.

Return ONLY valid JSON. Ensure all strings are properly quoted, no trailing commas:
{
  "segments": [
    {
      "segment_title": "Topic Discussion", 
      "timestamp": "01:15:30",
      "key_takeaway": "main point from this segment",
      "segment_summary": "brief description of what was discussed"
    }
  ]
}

Timestamp format: HH:MM:SS (e.g., 00:05:30, 01:22:45) marking the START of each segment.

Prompt 4: Media Mentions

Now scan the transcript content I provided for ACTUAL mentions of specific media titles:

Find explicit mentions of:
- Books (with specific titles)
- Movies (with specific titles)  
- TV Shows (with specific titles)
- Music/Songs (with specific titles)

DO NOT include:
- Websites, URLs, or web services
- Other podcasts or podcast names

IMPORTANT: 
- Only include items explicitly mentioned by name. Do not invent titles.
- Valid categories are: "Book", "Movie", "TV Show", "Music"
- Include the exact phrase where each item was mentioned
- Find the nearest proximate timestamp where it appears in the conversation
- THE TIMESTAMP OF THE MEDIA MENTION IS IMPORTANT - DO NOT INVENT TIMESTAMPS AND DO NOT MISATTRIBUTE TIMESTAMPS
- Double check that the timestamp is accurate - a timestamp will NEVER be greater than the total length of the audio
- Timestamps are given as ranges, e.g. 01:13:42.520 --> 01:13:46.720. Use the EARLIER of the 2 timestamps in the range.

Return ONLY valid JSON. Ensure all strings are properly quoted and escaped, no trailing commas:
{
  "media_mentions": [
    {
      "title": "Exact Title as Mentioned",
      "category": "Book",
      "author_artist": "N/A",
      "context": "Brief context of why it was mentioned",
      "context_phrase": "The exact sentence or phrase where it was mentioned",
      "timestamp": "estimated time like 01:15:30"
    }
  ]
}

If no media is mentioned, return: {"media_mentions": []}
