About D_Inwood
I have listened to SGU for about five years now, 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 about a decade ago. I now do office work in the transportation industry. I enjoy reading about geography and astronomy, and like to watch sci fi shows in my spare time.
Why do I do it?
I am not very good at generating my own content, but it turns out I have the right personality to do patient transcription work, and amplify the voices of those I support. There aren't very many podcasts that express any interest in facilitating transcriptions though. The SGU is a rare exception in this regard. They put links to the relevant transcription pages on their show notes, and have mentioned the project on their shows in the past, so I can be sure that listeners will actually be able to find my transcriptions once I am done. This is the main reason I transcribe the SGU instead of any of the other shows I like.
What I have learned here
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.
