But I couldn&#8217;t find any other project, other than a <a href=http:\/\/sguforums.com\/index.php\/topic,12548.0.html>thread on the SGU forums<\/a>.  So I decided to put my time where my mouth is, and just do some transcribing.<\/p>\n<p>It takes me about three times the amount of time to do a transcript as the podcast&#8217;s length (which is about 80 minutes), so generally a couple of nights&#8217; work for a single SGU podcast.  I guess I might be able to manage about two podcasts a week, and given that there are currently a bit over 350 podcasts in the archive, and a new one released each week, it&#8217;ll probably take me about seven years to finish them all!  So&#8230; I created a wiki, <a href=http:\/\/www.sgutranscripts.org>sgutranscripts.org<\/a>.  Now we&#8217;ll just have to see if the community gets behind it, otherwise I could be here for a long time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m a huge fan of the Skeptics&#8217; Guide to the Universe, a podcast of science and skepticism, and I&#8217;ve been thinking for a while that it&#8217;d be really good to have transcripts of the episodes to facilitate linking and searching. &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/helms-deep.net\/~rwh\/blog\/?p=270\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[156,152,153,154,151,150,155,158,157,159],"class_list":["post-270","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blogthings","tag-guide","tag-sceptic","tag-science","tag-sgu","tag-skeptic","tag-skeptics","tag-skepticsguide","tag-transcripts","tag-universe","tag-wiki"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/helms-deep.net\/~rwh\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/270","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/helms-deep.net\/~rwh\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/helms-deep.net\/~rwh\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/helms-deep.net\/~rwh\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/helms-deep.net\/~rwh\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=270"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/helms-deep.net\/~rwh\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/270\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":274,"href":"https:\/\/helms-deep.net\/~rwh\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/270\/revisions\/274"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/helms-deep.net\/~rwh\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=270"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/helms-deep.net\/~rwh\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=270"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/helms-deep.net\/~rwh\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=270"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
