There’s nothing more frustrating to a deaf person than seeing what looks like an awesome podcast–and no way to access it. As a deaf person, I obviously can’t listen to podcasts, but because podcasts are one of the best ways to learn new things and meet new people, I truly appreciate those that come with complete transcripts.
I have found that people with normal hearing also appreciate transcripts, for if they are short on time, they will look through a transcript before committing their time to listen to the full podcast.
Another big advantage for podcasts that have transcripts: transcripts show up in web searches.
Over the last several years, I’ve been “listening” to podcasts via transcripts. Here are some of the best:
Jaime Masters, The Eventual Millionaire
Jaime Masters interviews millionaires to discover their secrets and how they rose to the top.
Luis Congdon and Kamala Chambers, Thriving Launch
Luis and Kamala feature interviews from well-known individuals in the self-help field, such as Jack Canfield, Gretchen Rubin, and more.
Michael Hyatt provides tips on how you can live your best life as well as leadership strategies for those in the corporate world.
Pat Flynn, Smart Passive Income
Pat was one of the earliest podcasters to add transcripts. Pat covers a variety of topics related to earning money from the internet to interviews with well-known web personalities.
Tim is known as the “Four Hour Work Week” guy. To get the transcripts, you do have to trade in your email address to access them.
Anything and everything is discussed in this daily podcast.
