Every day. Or every week. I personally vet. Everything. And that means that probably less than twenty percent of the podcast sponsors who wish to sponsor the show end up sponsoring. But I'm fine with that and here are the few that made the cut.

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, 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.
