a frustrating thing about podcasts...

[ratcreature]

...is that I sometimes do not understand what is said, no matter how often I replay a section. It doesn't matter so much with news or other non-fiction, where mostly context fills in the gap, but it really annoys me in narrative podcasts. And unlike with tv, there is no subtitle option.

(BTW if anyone has listened to the latest Rusty Quill Gaming podcast, 191, and understood the last sentence Gragg is saying about quiche, that apparently was amusing, could you tell me? I replayed that bit four times and it just never resolves into meaning.)

Just a few days ago I figured out that a woman says "thousands" in a podcast I have listened to dozens of times when she is asked what she spend on bags. I know this episode inside and out so I was surprised to finally hear the word when I had missed it before.

I thought Rusty Quill offers transcripts?

The Magnus Archives have transcripts but the gaming one isn't scripted and usually longer, so I assume transcribing would be a lot of work. Maybe it's available as a Patreon perk?

I was thinkg of TMA so the gaming one probably doesn't have one.
