Hey everybody!
The time has come at last! Thanks to delightful listener Luca, we now have a bunch of actual transcripts of episodes to post. These will be linked from the episode show notes, but you’ll also be able to find them on their own section of our site just in case you ever want them, and hopefully they’ll make our show even more accessible.
So, without further ado except for another huge shoutout of thanks to Luca for the work put into these, here we are:
In this episode, Amy becomes an angry, vengeful stranger (but probably not) with “ghost” (11:30) and Ryan does the thing he was always meant to do with “engine” (30:31).
