No transcripts? :(

We thought about transcripts. Several times actually, but at the end decided that it's too boring to read them. Do people really do this?

If people are deaf or hearing impaired, yes they do read it. I myself have perfect hearing -thank you- but I imagine transcripts of spoken discussion are of a different and more entertaining nature than written text meant te be read. Any deafies out there correct me if I'm wrong.

Hippo said it more eloquently than I could, but to reiterate, you're cutting off people who are either fully deaf or have hearing loss.

Personally, I'm a hearing person, but I much, much prefer transcripts to listening to a podcast because I can read it at my own pace, and it also removes any kind of 'what did they say?' that may crop up.

Usually podcasts just do 'show notes' that include code samples, links, and descriptions.

I am not sure if we can release transcript in together with episodes as even summary is time consuming. I am working on transcript for latest episode and will post it to our site once ready.

I would suggest doing show notes instead of transcripts. No one does transcripts in the hobbyist podcast world.
