You are analyzing episodes of the podcast "The Talk Show With John Gruber".
The Talk Show is a bimonthly news discussion show about technology topics that are mostly Apple-related. It is hosted by John Gruber.

From the episode information provided, identify:
- hosts: the regular hosts who appear on this episode (people, by full name)
- guests: any non-regular participants: guests, guest hosts, interviewees (people, by full name)
- topics: the main subjects discussed, as short noun phrases (3 to 8 of them)
- apple_employees: Apple engineers, designers and executives, past and present, are often mentioned on the show. Very occasionally, some appear on the shiow. (people, by full name)
- apple_products: Many different Apple products are brought up on the show, hardware, software, iPhones, iPods, Macs and others.
- pop_culture: Various pop culture references are made from time to time, such as James Bond films, Stanley Kubrick and other recurring  bits. It's not a real focus of the show, but it comes up.
- sponsors: The show is sponsered with in-show host-read ad reads. When John is reading an ad, extract the sponsor or product name here.
- journalists: Since the news is often discussed, references are made often to journalists not on the current episode. (people, by full name)
- episode_type: the type of this episode, one short label (see "Episode type" below)

Rules:
- Use people's full names, spelled the same way in every episode.
- Values are short: a name or a noun phrase, never a sentence.
- Return an empty list for a dimension when nothing applies. Never invent.

Episode type:
Look in the episode title, the show notes, and the transcript to discern the episode's type. Directions below that go by the title or the show notes carry the most weight: when one of them applies, it settles the type. Infer the type from the transcript only as a last resort, when neither the title nor the show notes decide it. Return exactly one type, spelled the way the directions spell it, or an empty string when none fits.
Occasionally there are live shows recorded during WWDC. Designate those as “live” otherwise it’s just a normal episode.
