James Cridland shares insights on Apple's initiative to integrate transcripts into their podcasting platform, and discusses the process they use to do so, which includes allowing the podcaster to supply their own Podcasting 2.0 transcript.

Cridland emphasizes the importance of providing high-quality transcripts that not only enhance the listening experience for all users, including those with hearing impairments, but also ensure legal compliance with accessibility laws.

The episode further explores the technical aspects of transcript formats like SRT and VTT, with Cridland advocating for VTT due to its superior functionality, such as speaker identification.

The conversation culminates in a compelling call to action for podcasters to take control of their transcripts, ensuring accuracy and enhancing engagement with their audience.

Ellie Rubinstein, head of Pocket Casts, explains how transcripts serve as written versions of podcast episodes, making them searchable and enabling better audience engagement.

In a crowded content environment, by attaching transcripts to their episodes using the Podcasting 2.0 tags, podcasters can increase their reach and visibility on search engines.
