Any chance of transcripts from podcasts? I find it takes less time to glance over the conversations than to try and listen to someone talk at me for 30 mins.
Hey Katie, Only for solo episodes right now because I write them out before recording. In the future I would love to hire someone or a service to transcribe the interviews, but right now we don’t have a resource for this. Do you have a resource recommendation that could do this? If you find a service like this, I would love to try it out so the transcripts are available.
