In the last year, I have been focusing on transcribing segments from recent episodes that I enjoy the most, or segments that match up with my personal politics the best. This has meant any Forgotten Superhero of Science that has to do with an overlooked woman, any news item that touches a political issue, and all of the What's the Word segments. I am also adding time stamps for all segments on every episode I look at.


It's scary how much work there is to do here to have all episodes transcribed, categorized, and linked up. But I hope that some day we'll have a critical mass of volunteers and get it all done. The Skeptic's Guide is a great show, and I want it to become much better known than it currently is.
I have gone through every episode from 500 to 601, and transcribed any segment that I found particularly interesting.  


My current aspiration on this site is to find all of the episodes that have been transcribed, but are lacking redirects, and set up redirects for them so they can be found. After that, I will return to transcribing recent episodes of the show.

*[[Female guests on the SGU]]
*[[Women in history on the SGU]]
*[[Environmentalism]]
*[[Rebecca's feminist segments]]


== Why do I do it? ==
Segments that deal with things like gun control or global warming can all be found on the [https://www.sgutranscripts.org/wiki/Category:Politics Politics] page. All of the segments in episodes 500+ that are listed here were done by me.
I am not very good at generating my own content, but it turns out I have the right personality to do slow transcription work, and amplify the voices of those I support. There aren't very many podcasts that express any interest in facilitating transcriptions though. It is nice to see the SGU puts links to the transcription pages on their show notes for all episodes, so listeners can actually find it.


== What I have learned here ==
I have made a total of about 1500 edits. In January of 2017, I started to get tired of the project. I decided that I needed to either stop and do other things with my life, or at least take a good, long break. I may get back into this in the future. It'll depend on how I feel at the time. I really enjoyed working on it during the last year, and I hope more people get involved in the future.
I love how well organized this website is, and it has inspired me to get more organized in my own life. I am now categorizing news articles and blog posts I read, complete with links and dates, so I can reference them later if I want.  


I have also grown much more confident in updating wiki-style websites, which I wasn't very good at before. It's nice to be able to just copy other peoples' code and tinker with it until I get how it works.

About D_Inwood[edit]

I have listened to SGU on and off since around the 150th episode, and have been attending skeptical events in Vancouver, Canada for about the same amount of time. My favourite events are the Skepticamps that seem to happen about once a year here.

I have done some transcriptions in the past, mostly on the Atheism Plus Scribe project where I transcribed several episodes of Radio Freethinker. I also transcribed the Science Resources for Children video on Skepchick.

I grew up in Ontario and moved to British Columbia, where I worked in shipping logistics for about a decade ago. I am currently back at school, studying Sociology at SFU. In my spare time I like play the Descent series of games, watch anime, and work on this website.

My Activity on the Site[edit]

In the last year, I have been focusing on transcribing segments from recent episodes that I enjoy the most, or segments that match up with my personal politics the best. This has meant any Forgotten Superhero of Science that has to do with an overlooked woman, any news item that touches a political issue, and all of the What's the Word segments. I am also adding time stamps for all segments on every episode I look at.

I have gone through every episode from 500 to 601, and transcribed any segment that I found particularly interesting.

Segments that deal with things like gun control or global warming can all be found on the Politics page. All of the segments in episodes 500+ that are listed here were done by me.

I have made a total of about 1500 edits. In January of 2017, I started to get tired of the project. I decided that I needed to either stop and do other things with my life, or at least take a good, long break. I may get back into this in the future. It'll depend on how I feel at the time. I really enjoyed working on it during the last year, and I hope more people get involved in the future.
