Hey there. It's Steven Dubner. Let's start with Puzzle. I'm going to name some industries, some varied industries, and you have to figure out what they all have in common.

Okay? Here's the list. Agriculture? Rideshare services. Global banking.

Meteorology. Military communication. Insurance. Shipping logistics. Disaster management.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is 1 credit.

We already have this episode, so unlocking it is cheap and permanent: the full transcript (48 minutes, 8,673 words), segment and word-level timestamps, and .txt, .srt, .vtt and word-level JSON downloads, as many times as you like, forever.

10 free credits is 10 episodes like this one a month. Episodes nobody has transcribed yet cost their length in hours, because we have to actually transcribe them.
