  1. There were so many excellent quotes in this episode that I SO wanted there to be a transcript. Sigh.

    • I’ve been giving this thought. I would like to make transcripts available, but right now my hands are full with other aspects of the show. Maybe I can manage it later on.

      • Thanks! I see that you have announced more than thought, for which I am very thankful. Your podcast is pretty much my favorite these days; I listen to several history podcasts… the Dan Carlin and Mike Duncan and a few others. But yours is the one I look forward to with the most anticipation. I learn a lot and you make me smile frequently. Thanks! (again)

    • I’m working on them. It’s not going very fast, because I have so many other things to look after, but it’s coming!
