Last week, I decided to go outside my comfort zone, and agreed to transcribe a Twitter person's podcast. She had been participating in the UK-led hashtag #BoardGameHour, which happens on Mondays, and mentioned that she was looking for someone to transcribe her podcast, and had about 30 minutes left of one episode to get done soon. I've done some short transcription work in the past for Amazon's Mechanical Turk, and it can be a lot of fun to work those aural muscles, so I jumped on the opportunity. I'm grateful I did, as I had a blast doing something interesting and stretching my skill set.
Today, Erin posted the episode I transcribed: "The Geeky Gimp Presents #6: A Podcast With Chris." It was a lot of fun to listen to, even having to jump back to get individual words clarified. I've added her site to my blogroll on the right, as well. She and Chris Preiman discuss Daredevil, comic book movies, and Star Trek. Chris is blind, and as you can imagine, has Daredevil Opinions. He and Erin are both well versed in tons of geeky subjects, and I really can't put into words how much I enjoyed listening to their conversation.
If you're interested in having me do transcription work for your podcast, let me know in the comments below.

I love comments, but due to spam and tons of pathetic, entitled internet man-babies salty about me writing ONE post about sexism 3 years ago, I monitor all incoming traffic.
Pro-tip: writing a long-winded screed into a comment page on a several-year-old blog post on a deserted blog, where you shriek about how awful SJWs are is pretty pathetic. Especially since the moment you insult me, the chances of that post appearing is exactly ZERO percent.
Thoughtful posts should get approved within a day or two.
