Thanks Adam. I started looking into transcription services. The issue is cost and audio quality so far. The going rate appears to be $1/min. So the avg Talentopoly episode would weigh in at $80. Plus a lot of the text would most likely be wrong due to the poor quality of Skype. But I'll keep searching. If you know of any good services that are free or inexpensive let me know.

On Odesk, people are offering $5-10 per hour of audio: https://www.odesk.com/o/jobs/browse/c/administrative-support/sc/transcription/ It might be worth trying.

That's interesting. Though I wonder what the quality of the output is. They are no doubt foreigners at that price and will have the language barrier and Skype call quality to contend with.

In your synopsis it says "Emalium" instead of "Emailium", just a heads up

@jared - glad to see another good podcast. I would love to see a transcript of the podcast as I'm not always able to hear podcasts.

I'll do it for $0.50 a minute ;)
