Sort of like reading a script doesn’t really bring it to life. Transcripts convey the information but don’t really give you any impact. Podcasts do a better job of capturing the emotion, excitement, and feelings of the moment. I can see both sides of the equation for Tim here. I am hard of hearing and I am lucky that I can for the most part hear the podcasts. I now have a lifttime countdown clock on Chrome thanks to Kevin Kelly. And I’ve really enjoyed the podcasts I’ve listened to I listen when there’s someone I’m very interested to hear. I googled and found they were done by this company: Secondly, I’ve enjoyed Mixergy’s transcripts. The requirement to do a hand pass likely makes it not worthwhile. However, he says “I always use them for transcription and then make a hand-pass to make things flow a bit better and format for the Internet.”. I thought back to two podcasts I’ve read transcripts of that were good. No sense getting X% more reach if it makes the whole thing complex enough that it’s no longer fun. Tim, very reasonable point below about transcript quality + complexity of the project. I wasn’t complaining that Tim *should* do XYZ I was just describing my use case so Tim can adapt, if he wants to. And on the flip side, when I feel like it I can instead spend 60 hours a week working to create a new product I’m proud of and that will earn me the recurring money I need to continue my adventures.Ĭan’t reply to Tim’s comment below, so I’m replying here. I went to Brazil for five weeks in Nov/Dec to learn portuguese. I can sleep in when I feel like it, check out for a week if I want, travel etc. I help make it cheaper for others to study for the LSAT and apply to law school.įollowing the 4HWW, I set things up so everything I do is remote and largely non-time sensitive. ![]() I dropped out of law school and ended up making an online LSAT prep business. Not sure if I ever thanked you anywhere else, but thank you for the 4HWW. If you made transcripts I would probably read every single podcast, and also listen to the ones that seemed particularly interesting. Preferring reading is very common in the tech niche. This is abnormal for the internet overall, but I bet a sizeable chunk of your audience 1. I’ve listened to a few podcasts, and liked them, but overall I’ve just sort of checked out because I don’t do audio. And I hate, hate, hate listening to audio/video, because I can read the same thing 5-6 times faster. ![]() I’m a huge fan, have read most of your stuff. Have you considered making transcripts for these? Perhaps after the fact if you want to initially encourage podcast listenership.
