Podcast transcripts

We don’t ourselves provide podcast transcripts because we believe a podcast is an aural experience. If we started planning for transcription then the whole nature of the episode would change.

That said, both Apple Podcasts and Spotify provide automatically generated transcripts of podcasts.

Apple Podcasts

You need the free Podcasts app on the iPhone/iPad or the Mac. Once you have it, you can click here to subscribe to our podcast.

Tap on an episode, and you will see a short description of it. Below the description (iPhone/iPad) or in an adjacent tab (Mac) you will see the transcript. You can tap on it to see it in full.

Spotify

You can get the Spotify app on any device or computer. You need an account to use it, but this can be a free account. You don’t need to pay. You can click here to subscribe to our podcast.

When you tap on an episode, you will see a short description and a list of chapters (these are Spotify’s chapter headings, not ours). After that there is a button marked “Episode transcript”. When you tap it, you will see Spotify’s transcript of the whole episode. As with Apple, this is automatically generated.
