    The Best Podcasts with Transcripts

    Want to increase your audience for your podcast?

    Here’s how: provide a transcript.

    With millions of deaf and hard of hearing people out there–you’ll reach an untapped market if you provide access to your audio material. Transcripts also impact SEO–making your website more attractive in searches.

    Here are some popular podcasts which provide transcripts:

    Smart Passive Income with Pat Flynn

    Pat was one of the early leaders with transcripts. He covers a variety of topics with well-known leaders in social media.

    The School of Greatness with Lewis Howes

    Lewis has recently added transcripts to his newer podcasts. Lewis interviews a variety of people on the topics of self-improvement, mind mastery, and business. Lewis also provides interpreters for his events.

     

    Eventual Millionaire with Jaime Masters

    Jaime Masters has been providing transcripts for awhile now–she was one of the early leaders. Jaime attended Rochester Institute of Technology, which has over a thousand deaf and hard of hearing students so she knows the impact of providing access. Jaime interviews various millionaires and shows ways you can create your first million.

    The Miracle Morning with Hal Elrod

    I had the opportunity to met Hal at a Passion Summit–he’s the real deal. Friendly and open, he genuinely wants to help you succeed. Hal’s interviews cover a variety of topics, from self-help to personal stories.

    This is Your Life with Michael Hyatt

    I met Michael Hyatt while visiting Dave Ramsey at Financial Peace University. Michael is another early adopter–he was providing transcripts from the beginning of his podcasts. Michael covers topics such as leadership, running a small business, and marriage.

    The Mindvalley Podcast with Vishen Lakhiani  

    I stumbled upon this podcast through a Facebook post and when I went searching for transcripts, I found them in just seventeen of their podcasts. The interviews are worth it. Check them out. Then let them know you want more transcripts!

     

    TED Radio Hour Podcast with Guy Raz

    If you love TED Talks, you’ll love the TED Radio Hour. The topics are deep and the people are profound.

    The Tim Ferriss Show

    Not every show has a transcript, but I’ve included the link to all the ones that do. Tim Ferriss is the master of the Four-Hour Work Week. Every possible topic is found on this show and if you’re an entrepreneur, this is a must read.

  • How Can a Deaf Person Do Podcast Interviews?

    How Can a Deaf Person Do Podcast Interviews?

    I just wrapped up an enjoyable podcast chat with Thom Walters over at Zen Commuter. I actually enjoy doing podcasts. For one thing, I can do them in my pajamas and I’m always talking about my favorite topic: PASSION.

    But wait a minute…

    How does a deaf gal do podcasts if she can’t hear over the phone?

    I use a system called ZVRS–it’s a videophone service that provides a sign language interpreter for every phone call. The interpreter listens in on the podcast interview and signs everything that the podcaster says. (And I mean everything–if a podcaster burps, the interpreter signs that burp!) I speak directly back to the podcaster using a headset. Whenever I do interviews for the books I’m writing, I use this system as well. You can view it here: How a Deaf Gal Uses the Phone.

     

    Here’s what Chris Brogan, Owner Media, has to say about using the system for an interview:

    “I wondered exactly how she’d interview me. You have to know that this was the MOST seamless experience I’ve ever had with translations/interpretation tools.”

    (By the way, Chris has an awesome newsletter that goes out every Sunday chock full of helpful stuff for running a business and life: chrisbrogan.com/nl)

    The first time I did a podcast, I loved it. There’s something so fun about just having a conversation and sharing what you know with others. I still get nervous now and then and my voice cracks occasionally, but I find that the more I do, the better I become at answering questions and sharing stories.

    For many, many years, the phone was my enemy. It was the barrier between me and the rest of the world. My father had to handle all my phone calls during my teen years ( my mom was deaf). As you can imagine, it’s really no fun having your dad relay messages from friends and boyfriends!

    It took me six years and over 200 interviews to write Unwrapping Your Passion, Creating the Life You Truly Want. Many of the interviews were done over the phone. I typed my notes word for word while watching the interpreter sign on screen.

    So, I often give thanks to the amazing technology we have today that breaks down the barriers for communicating with one another.

    Here’s some of the podcasts I’ve participated in:

    You Leading You with Sean Ackerman — Conquering Adversity Barefoot

    Natural Born Coaches with Marc Mcwhinney — A Passion for Life

    Marketing for Public Speakers with Jason Owens — How to Break Free From Being Paralyzed by Perfection

    She Wrote a Book with Lena Anani  — Living With Passion

    Newstalk 1010 with Jeff Sammut — Author of Unwrapping Your Passion (audio only)  transcript pending

    The Shut Up Show — Putting Your Feet Back in the Water

    Be Inspired with Jen McDonough — Overcoming Adversity

    Reinvention Radio with Steve Olsher

    B-Now Radio: Unwrap Your Passion at Any Age

    Cynthia Mazzafero interviews Karen Putz

    The Best Podcasts With Transcripts

    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, Lead to Win

    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 Ferriss Show

    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.

     

    Freakonomics

    Anything and everything is discussed in this daily podcast.
