Podium Voices are multi-agent AI hosts for events (turn coordination)

The repo actually solves the messy plumbing of live voice agents: modular ASR→LLM→TTS adapters plus an optional PersonaPlex speech-to-speech path, per-agent env overrides, and a Playwright-driven Jitsi bot for room joining. It's a useful MVP for anyone prototyping AI co-hosts, though mixing backends is still manual and PersonaPlex demands extra infra, so it's more pragmatic experiment than turnkey product.
