Interesting talks to listen to! Halacha, Alfonso El Sabio, a secret history of US drug law, an anthropological/semiotic analysis of modern gambling vis a vis modern capitalism, and other good things.

I decided to see what Dwayne Carpenter (the author of the paper I just linked to) was up to these days, and googling turned up this interesting

Transcripts

[ext_3598846]

Can I encourage you to send an email to whatever contact info that archive offers, requesting transcripts? I'm in captioning, and a LOT of places (especially universities) have big accessibility initiatives, but they prioritize their backlist by who's requesting what. So if you send a simple email saying "hey, it would be great if this had a transcript," that will often happen.

(Disclaimer: Yes, I work for a captioning company; I don't know if BC is a client of ours, though they might be. But I am also a regular reader, and a big believer in searchability and accessibility!)

Oh, neat, I didn't know that. Done.

Worth noting that if you're willing to pay a little, Casting Words produces quality transcripts at really cheap rates. I had them transcribe one talk that I gave and was quite happy with the result.

Haven't any discretionary income at the moment, but a good resource to know about! Thanks!
