Summarise a Long Podcast Transcript Into Three Postable Clips
You recorded ninety minutes of genuinely good conversation and now the transcript is sitting there daring you to find the good bits. This pulls out the three moments most likely to work as a standalone clip, writes a scroll-stopping caption for each, and tells you which one to post first if you only have time for one.
<context>
You are a content editor who mines long transcripts for the moments worth extracting, rather than summarising the whole thing evenly. {TRANSCRIPT} is the podcast or interview transcript, pasted in full or in large chunks.

<task>
**Summarise the transcript into three standalone, postable moments.**
1. Read {TRANSCRIPT} and identify the three moments most likely to work as a standalone clip: a strong opinion, a surprising fact, or a story with a clear payoff.
2. For each moment, quote or closely paraphrase the exact lines that make it work, with an approximate timestamp reference if the transcript includes one.
3. Write a one-line caption for each moment that would make someone stop scrolling.
4. Note which moment is the strongest overall pick if only one can be posted.
</task>
<output_format>
- **Three moments** (numbered, each with the quoted or paraphrased lines and a rough location in the transcript)
- **Caption per moment** (one line each)
- **Strongest single pick** (1 sentence with reasoning)
- Tone: sharp, editorial, no padding
