Home of Rhett & Link fans - the Mythical Beasts!

Someone started a thread over on the Rhett and Link Reddit about possibly starting to transcribe episodes of ear biscuits. We figured that since GMM is getting captions it might be cool to transcribe some episodes of EB as well. Im not making this post to ask for help (but some might be needed if people would like), more trying to see what other peoples opinions are about it and if it people think it would be a good idea. It would probably take a while but I have so much time free since I have finished school and I don't have a job so this could be a fun thing to do since I love Ear Biscuit's and if it can help someone I don't see why I shouldn't try do something helpful. I know that the K-Mods have a lot going on with the Database project so we know that it isn't possible for you guys to help but we were just getting some opinions on if people think that it would be a good idea or not??

I think this would be great! Transcribing is a real bear of a job, so I don't envy you for 1-hour long (and more) podcasts...but it would be a real service!

I read through the Reddit post. I also think the Google docs linked via Reddit or the Komm (or both, even) could be the best way to ensure your work is publicly accessible and easy to find. Either you or Aedriane could start a blog post here with links that you update as you finish each episode, and we can keep it "pinned" here as a permanent featured post (similar to the way we have a biographic master post that is permanently on the featured list: http://rhettandlinkommunity.com/profiles/blogs/rhett-and-link-s-lif...).

Hope that helps. Best of luck on this project!

Awesome, thank you! (Aedriane here)

I'm taking care of some background organizing and an episode today. Once we finish the first two, I'll get things posted on Reddit (and here if Morgan's cool with it), and we'll be rolling!

I forgot to thank y'all for your input in the chat as far as the transcripts, so thanks for that!

Also, sorry it's taking a while to get started. It's been a bit longer than we planned, but thing's will definitely pick up once the posts are up and the first pair of transcripts are out. Thanks for being patient with us! :3

Transcription is a lot of work! No worries if it takes some time. :)

Best of luck! Don't burn out doing it, easy to get swallowed up in a project this big. Slow and steady :)

Okay, I've made the blog post for the project. Please let me know if something's off, or if I've overstepped my bounds in any way.

It's a lot of work to put there, but it would definitely be a great achievement to the RandL fandom, so good luck to all of you !!!
