Quote a podcast episode
If the podcast is on YouTube, open the episode on WithTranscript, find the line in the transcript, click it to hear it, and copy the words. Confirm who is speaking from the audio, since transcripts don't name speakers, then press S for a link that opens the episode at that second. Part of quoting a YouTube video.
Finding the line
Podcast episodes run long, so start with the chapter list: each chapter usually has a short summary. Then search the page with Ctrl+F for a word you remember.
Who said it
Some transcripts label paragraphs Speaker A, B and so on; ones built from captions mark only where the speaker changes. Neither gives names. Click the line and listen, and when there are guests you don't know by voice, check the introduction at the start. More on speakers.
Quoting fairly
- Quote the words as spoken. Mark cuts with an ellipsis and keep the meaning.
- Read a few lines either side; the transcript makes context easy to check.
- Link the moment, so readers can hear it themselves.
