I've listened to this ep today and OMG I'm shocked, shocked by the rampant level of Nazi Problem. So much Nazi Problem! I can't even with the Nazi Problem. Did I mention the Nazi Problem? I'm following both of these characters right now so I can stay abreast of all the Nazi Problem.
No, really now: it was an amazing, amazing episode.
Glad you enjoyed it. Check out the penultimate item in this week's Weekly Weird (#8) for the BBC's coverage of the German farmer protests, they took a similar approach re: wow, such Nazi Problem.
Hi Kirsten, thank you for reaching out. The transcript usually goes out on Substack, as a post and to subscribers, within a few days of the episode release. It's taken me a little longer than usual to post it this time because Elle and I were...talkative. I'm hoping to have it up by the weekend - sorry for the delay!
Hi Kirsten, apologies for the time it took, but I just posted the transcript. It goes to subscribers automatically, but is also accessible through the main page as well. Finished just in time to get started on the next one!
What a great discussion. I was completely engrossed in the topics presented and look forward to listening to more of this podcast in the future. Elle is an inspiring figure and wonderful writer. Always interesting to hear such nuanced perspectives like this. Great work, you two!
"And if we're going to argue that the founders of a company shouldn't promote hate content, well, yeah, that's a great bar, but then what is Elon Musk doing and why is that okay?" - Elle Griffin.
What a brilliant point! It's not like anyone's been criticizing Elon.
I get why @ellegriffin loves substack. There's so much to love here. But I don't understand why she wants substack to monetize nazi newsletters at the risk of destroying the platform that we all love.
You have no idea of history of you think that Hitler or got elected. In the last free election in Germany, the NSDAP got close to 33 percent of the votes.
(also you're far too much black and white for wanting to not be black and white).
Oh, and how is former Twitter now disinfecting Nazis?
How can in a country, where a woman who couldn't get health care she needed while having a miscarriage can get arrested, miscarriage be seen anything but a trauma.
Oh, and Mary was not independent at all according to Matthew. She was spoken to Joseph which is why he took her to the place he was born… anyway you're right that the initial story said nothing about whether she had had sex before the story Matthew told.
(to me it looks more like Joseph tried of he could impregnate her before marrying her)

Hi Mike, is there a transcript available? I didn’t see a link when I skimmed but I may have missed it -- looking forward to checking out the convo!

No worries, appreciate knowing it’s in the works!

Isn’t that always the way? 😏 Thanks so much for letting me know!

That's so nice Winston. Thank you!
Thank you for listening, Winston. I'm so glad that you found it worthwhile.
Just a note: I was wrong about Hitler's party being elected, he was appointed and the won the chancellorship by default. Please amend my bad history!

Sonny, can I in all sincerity ask you to read Jesse Singal with an open mind and then at least question the narrative that Nazis are destroying Substack? https://open.substack.com/pub/jessesingal/p/platformers-reporting-on-substacks?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=7tlxc
