Nothing against NPR but I don't want to spend 22 minutes on an audio. Is there a transcript? Also, confused Amanda Hess, the journalist, with Amanda Hesser, the cookbook author.

MODERATORS
I have seen transcripts for their stuff but not always. I think it depends on the content and I think its not available right away. Then again with the budget tightening it might be something they might have had to shelve.
I also never want to spend X minutes listening when I could instead spend X/3 minutes reading, plus retain info better, and be better able to look up stuff from it
What's to dislike about National Public Radio?
Sane washing. I'll let you search the term, but NPR is still a pretty good news source. And this topic is important without feeling like a tin foil.
Link for your podcast app. The website does not allow for fast speed playback. I've lost my tolerance for listening to podcasts at 1.0x speed.
I recently came across Signal Jam which is a podcast about privacy that probably doesn't have anything most people in this community aren't aware of but still seems like a good resource for a lot of people.
