Great thought, Bill. We don’t have any way of doing transcripts right now … we three (plus Randy, our engineer) do this in our free time and on our own dimes, and we don’t have any way to add creating transcripts to the project. If there’s a free tool for transcribing, we could look at using it, but I don’t know if there’s anything out there yet that would be both free (or super cheap) and accurate at transcribing the podcast for us. We’re open to ideas. If you think of anything, let us know, and we’ll keep our eyes open for ideas as well.

Another possibility would be to use a transcription service, but that would need to wait until we have enough sponsor revenue (if we ever do) to cover our costs. It’s a possibility, though.

I don’t ever listen to podcasts when I’m at home or the office (like you, I’d prefer to read then), but I do listen to a bunch of podcasts while I’m running and while I’m driving, which works great for me, at least.

Thanks for the note – much appreciated.

Hi!

Any chance of transcripts? It sure would be nice to spend 10 minutes reading the transcripts rather than 50 minutes listening to the podcast.

Just a thought.

Thanks Kathleen! I’m happy to do it … it’s been fun, and we are learning a lot with every episode. And it’s very helpful to hear the comment about the format. I’ll pass that on to Matt & Pamela.

I just wanted to say that I appreciate your willingness to continue to keep involved and let us know what is happening in our community. I have been listening to Radio Golden and like the new longer format rather than two seperate pod casts, it provides better continuity and flow of information. Thanks Again.

Vi was a beautiful loving soul. I don’t know how she did all the things she did in her 93 years, but she did. She was also a loyal friend. Where is she buried? We only heard today that she had passed away.

Comment on An Economic History of Golden by jacob

Thanks for the comment, Pat. If you move your cursor over the video box, the video menu pops up at the bottom. At the bottom-right there is a button/link called “vimeo,” and just to the left of that is the button to open up the video player to full-screen view. Click on that and the video player will take up your full screen. It’s not perfect, because the resolution is still grainy, but you should be able to read all the words on the screen by doing that. If that doesn’t work I can email you something.

The document reporting the economic history of Golden is of great interest to me. Howver, I can’t read the presentation. The print is too small and I don’t know how to make it readable.

Mayor – many thanks for your service to our community and for your frankness on these important issues.

As a young family in the Mountain Ridge neighborhood, I concur with your assessment that we should revisit the 2003 Golden/Muller Plan for any appropriate adjustments given more current information available. Moreover, as a former Washington DC resident (where there’s already a well known beltway with well known concerns), I wholeheartedly agree that any changes to 93 must have a) safety/community/environmental protection (e.g. 45mph speed limit, strict noise buffering, grade separated interchanges with dedicated pedestrian and bike access) and b) legal protection from ever letting 6 / 93 “evolve” into a beltway itself.

We have various legitimate transportation and traffic issues at hand which, if we continue to work diligently and collegially on, we can solve in a manner that puts Golden in an even better position for now and future generations.
