Questions people ask

Is there an Apple Podcasts app for Windows?
Not for podcasts with transcripts. Apple's support pages still point Windows users to iTunes for podcasts, and iTunes shows no transcripts.
Can I read it on a Chromebook?
Yes. Everything here runs in the browser, and the transcript downloads as a plain file.
