       The Bulwark (among other sites) is, increasingly a bunch of podcasts. I don't have time to listen to them. I would read transcripts. Yes, I know that chatting with cronies and guests is easier than, you know, reporting and writing. Just not for me....

       @dangillmor I find podcasts generally to be an inefficient way of consuming news and information, though sometimes entertaining.

       @dangillmor I've largely given up on podcasts. I find most of them are an hour plus but should have been edited down to about 15-20 minutes.

       @dangillmor “my time is more valuable than yours” syndrome - another reason why plonk was invented. One wonders if they check if AI summaries of their content accurately reflect the message they hope to convey

       @dangillmor The problem with transcripts -- and I mean all them -- radio ones like I do, podcasts, courts, etc., is that you easily lose emphasis, sarcasm, and more. This not just an annoyance, it can be a real problem.

       @dangillmor  With my ADHD and misophonia, the last thing in the world I want is people yapping in my ear.

       @dangillmor 100% with you. Some, like PBS, offer video clips or segments, but transcripts too.  And now MSNBC, much to my chagrin, is relying on podcasts *as* their programming. Some is rather choice - but it's now a challenge to find "live news" on "news" networks, CNN included. Well, some say "choice is good" and AI is terrific too, but others want 'traditional' live and text-based reportage.  My 2￠

       @lauren Still better than no transcript.
