The Ask Tommy knowledge base is built entirely from Tommy's own words — nothing more, nothing less. Episode metadata and audio was sourced from the Fandom Wiki and Hal C.F. Astell's episode guide; the transcripts were generated directly from those audio recordings using Whisper.

Song lyrics have been stripped out so the model focuses purely on Tommy's introductions, dedications, and commentary — the stuff that actually makes the show special.

Tommy was famously generous about reading out listeners' full home addresses on air — a wonderfully innocent pre-internet habit. Those addresses have been quietly removed. The towns and regions are kept (Tommy's shout-outs to Sutton Coldfield are sacred), but specific house numbers and street names are redacted. The spirit of the dedications lives on; the stalker-enabling parts do not.
