Serious question, how in the heck did the podcasters get their transcript? Did they pay someone to edit a machine translation? That is one of the coolest things

  I don't know how they seeded the transcript set (looks like this one landed in 2017), but nowadays, transcripts are accepted via GitHub. https://github.com/thechangelog/transcripts https://github.com/thechangelog/transcripts

  Yes, we pay a human to transcribe each episode and then we open source the markdown on GitHub for community collaboration/improvement.
