A humble request from a faithful reader:

I actually _prefer_ to read this kind of content. Might it be possible to provide transcripts when you post links to podcasts?

iPhone 13s actually do _excellent_ transcription! (As I learned, much to my consternation, when I was interrupted mid-text by a business contact last week, and my iPhone recorded every single word we said to each other over the course of that subsequent 10 minutes into that open text box! 😀 )

I could not agree more. I read very fast. I don't have time to listen to podcasts and interviews, but can read anywhere. Please, Bari. Please.

One of the teachers at our school found a transcript online of the Sold a Story podcast. I listened and she read and we agreed it’s worth it!!

Agreed. I suspect the reason they don't do this is due to the time involved. Yes, there is good transcription software out there, but even those transcriptions need to be edited and proofed, which would be time consuming for a one hour interview.

There’s a certain irony in your two words given many of the comments. 😆

We’ve been asking for this forever. Even Bari’s dad thinks there should be transcripts.
