The awkward transitional period of history we are currently living through
In which *some* but not *all* podcasts use auto-transcripts, so you can't immediately disregard something for being a podcast.
I was hoping Just Plain Wrong had a text version. :(

Listen Notes informs me that Google is willing to run their auto-transcriber on anything played through Google Chrome (not just Youtube videos), but 1: fuck Google Chrome, and 2: it sounds like it only *captions* rather than transcribing per se, so a 36-minute episode would require 36 minutes of hanging around watching for each new word/line to pop up (as opposed to dumping the audio into a processing queue, going off to do other things, and getting all the text at once later).
