WHAT’S HAPPENING IN THE PODCAST WORLD
Transcripts on Apple Podcasts
Apple is all about inclusivity, ensuring everything we do is accessible to everyone. This spring, they're bringing a new feature to Apple Podcasts - transcripts. Now, accessing podcasts just got simpler for everyone!
Simply press and hold onto a podcast episode to view its transcript. Once an episode is live, Apple swiftly creates transcripts of it. You can listen to the episode immediately, and you'll be able to read through the transcript shortly after that.
In the latest episode of Today’s Conveyancer podcast, host David Opie chats with Chris Scantlebury. Once a conveyancer himself, Chris is now the founder and director of ProConvey, a digital platform for conveyancing. He shares how he transitioned from hands-on conveyancing work to creating ProConvey - a tool that streamlines collaboration between estate agents and conveyancers.
When the long-running TV news show ventured into podcasting, it had a few advantages that helped it leapfrog its competitors. This week, NBC is set to launch "Dateline Originals", a new podcast platform where all of Dateline's gripping story series are compiled in one place for uninterrupted streaming, making it easier for fans to binge on these captivating tales of misfortune.
Big Truth is on the hunt for some intriguing tales of the unexplained. If you've got a story about the supernatural, metaphysical or extraterrestrial - be it ghosts, aliens, unknown creatures or any other bizarre phenomena that are hard to explain - email or DM him with your experiences.
