I know some people might not like NPR, but the message matters and can help someone you know. In particular this story touches on women's issues.

Nothing against NPR but I don't want to spend 22 minutes on an audio. Is there a transcript? Also, confused Amanda Hess, the journalist, with Amanda Hesser, the cookbook author.

I also never want to spend X minutes listening when I could instead spend X/3 minutes reading, plus retain info better, and be better able to look up stuff from it

I have seen transcripts for their stuff but not always. I think it depends on the content and I think its not available right away. Then again with the budget tightening it might be something they might have had to shelve.
