I present the following quote from Josh Blackman on taking podcasts out of context:

And this is yet another reason why I severely dislike podcasts. This was a 90 minute long discussion where Vance hit on lots of points. If you pluck out a few words here and there, and ignore the broader context, a lot will be missed. I transcribe podcasts, for good reason.

I am not a podcast-person, but I agree with the broad point in Mr. Blackman’s opinion. It is easier to take one line or another from a long podcast out of context than it is in a written piece. Transcribing podcasts sounds like a good approach. [Link: Josh Blackman]
