Thanks for the feedback! I wasn’t sure how much effort to put into this producing this transcript (this entire podcast thing is pretty experimental); good to know you were trying to read along.
It was machine transcribed via Descript but then I did put in another ~90min cleaning it up a bit, removing filler words and correcting egregious mistranscriptions. I could have spent another hour or so to really clean it up, and perhaps will do so next time (or find some scaleable way to handle it eg outsource or LLM). I think that put it in an uncanny valley of “almost readable, but quite a bad experience”.

Yeah, sadly AFAICT it just takes hours of human time to produce good transcripts.
+1 here, I’ve found this to be a major pain, and just didn’t do it in my last one with Eli Lifland.
