Why podcast transcripts matter more than ever

Podcast transcripts have gone from being a nice extra to one of the most useful tools you can have for your show. They help make your podcast more accessible, give search engines and AI tools more context about what you covered, and make it much easier to reuse the work you already put into each episode. At Buzzsprout, we’ve been working on transcripts for years because we think they make podcasting better for both creators and listeners. And as more apps support transcripts, they’re only becoming more valuable. If you’ve never really paid attention to transcripts before, now’s a good time to start.
