Yo, I heard you like text, so I put text in your podcast...
Tuesday, February 8, 2011 at 7:42PM Update: Make Room for Kids is ending for the year, after already meeting its goal and then some, so my new charity I am championing for is Child's Play.
Today is day 2 of the I Am Your Champion game. Our task for the day, think of a task we can create that will help generate money for our cause. Now, in most things, I like to think myself as a bard: jack of all trades, master of none. I can write, but I'm not going to write a novel for you. I can code, but I'm not going to write a webapp for you.
So I started to think what I could do that involved the mundane, basically apply my hours in a day doing something easy that most people don't want to do or like to do. I was listening to a new podcast, Sword and Laser, and checking out the extra notes of the podcast when it hit me.
I can listen to audio.
I can understand English.
I can type.
So, to the world I make this offer: I will offer the following 2 services to podcasters of any type:
- For 5$, I will listen to up to 2 hours of your podcasts and provide shownotes, formatted how you want. It can be just a summary or it can have time indexes, links that you mention will be in the shownotes, etc. This can be ten 30-minute podcasts, five 1-hour podcasts, or how ever you want to slice it. If you want me to go through your archive to update your original episodes or just send me the audio before you release it, we can work it out.
- For 30$, I will transcribe, word for word, an hour of your podcast. There are services out there, and there is software that tries to do it, I'm just a guy with a text editor and headphones, but I'm doing this for charity. You just got that awesome guest and you'd like a typed recount of your interview with them, to make it easier to search for things from the conversation, I can give you the raw text of the interview.
Now, I can only speak English, so all audio will have to be in that language only. Drop me a line at psychopez (at) gmail.com to let me know if you're interested or not.

I'm going to Throw In on this Challenge.
There are a lot of gaming podcasts out there, and a lot of people who want to keep informed about what people are talking about. If anyone accepts this Challenge on my behalf at the $5 level, I will select 2 hours of RPG related podcasts on which notes will be taken, and I will provide make these notes available to anyone who wants to read them via my own website. If multiple people accept this Challenge on my behalf, we will be able to get more notes on more podcasts.
Hi Michael,
I'm slowly working on my IAYC reward, the Fantasy Newspaper. You're one of the people who donated to the charity I chose, but I don't think I ever got your article request. Maybe it went to spam? Could you please (re)send it to pyresofvam@gmail.com. Sorry for posting this here, by the way, but I couldn't find an email address for you.
Cheers :)
