Ceebs Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Hopefully the title of the podcast isn't too off-putting to anyone, haha. Sluts & Scholars is a sexuality podcast I listen to regularly, kind of taking an academic... one might even say 'nerdy'... approach to all sorts of topics surrounding sexuality. I was just browsing my podcast app on my phone and noticed that this week's episode was about asexuality. This is the link to the episode on their website, but it's also available on all major podcast apps. Asexuality with Ellie Next Door "Ellie is an asexual sex worker who joins me for a conversation around sexual spectrums, types of desires, aphantasia, and fetishes. She helps correct misconceptions about the asexuality spectrum and shares some personal ways that she helps clients combat sexual shame." Haven't listened yet myself (will do so), but thought it was probably worth posting here. Link to post Share on other sites
Forest Spirit Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 It starts at about 4:00, and has some explicit language in it just to let people now🙂 (though I couldn't skip ahead for some reason) Link to post Share on other sites
Ceebs Posted May 15, 2021 Author Share Posted May 15, 2021 Thanks for letting people know. Haven't got round to listening yet myself, so. (Got another podcast on the go here at the moment, haha.) Link to post Share on other sites
Forest Spirit Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Think the podcast in general is very... straight-forward with its language. Was kind of expecting that from the name so it was ok, but could be not ok for others Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah; I was wondering if it might have language like that, in case those who are sex-repulsed about that kind of language might need a warning about it. Link to post Share on other sites

Haven't listened to the whole one, not sure how to call it but yes I hoped to give a bit of a TW with my post Link to post Share on other sites
Ceebs Posted May 16, 2021 Author Share Posted May 16, 2021 Oh man... ok, so I'm (finally) part way through listening to this and I've gotta just say that, despite having posted this, I don't agree with a lot of the ways the guest on this episode characterises some aspects of asexuality. But, that's just me. Link to post Share on other sites
Forest Spirit Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Yeah it's not the most common take on asexuality Link to post Share on other sites

Might be of interest to people curious about sex work, if they don't mind some explicit talk. The way she defines asexuality confuses me somewhat, though. Link to post Share on other sites
R_1 Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Hard of hearing, transcript please. Link to post Share on other sites

LeChat Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 @R_1 Hi. I just thought I'd give an update: I've transcribed around 40% of the podcast, so far. I was thinking about sending it through PM, once I'm finished, because it's a lot of pages, and, also, due to the adult website ad and promo codes--for sexual products, that the host mentions at the beginning of the podcast (that aren't allowed to be promoted on AVEN). If anyone else who's hard of hearing would like the transcript, once I'm finished, let me know! Occasionally, the host and guest interrupt each other and talk at the same time, or change their thoughts, mid-sentence, so I apologize for not being able to transcribe every word (because I wasn't able to make out, exactly, what they were saying). Most of it's there, though. Link to post Share on other sites
Forest Spirit Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 @LeChat just a big thank you for making that effort🍰 Link to post Share on other sites
Ceebs Posted May 18, 2021 Author Share Posted May 18, 2021 God I feel bad for posting this now haha. That's a lot of work to go to, @LeChat! 😬 Link to post Share on other sites

I'm glad you posted it. I've never heard of the podcast, before; and, so, far, have liked listening to it. It's just that I'm a perfectionist and thought that I should be honest by admitting to those who are hard of hearing that I wasn't able to catch every single word; I didn't think it'd be right to not say anything and give anyone the impression that my transcript would be 100% perfect, word-for-word, when it's more like 98% or 99%. I've come across some news interviews/podcasts, elsewhere, on the internet that were, obviously, pre-planned, with the host and guest reading out their own answers that they'd prepared, but it's also common for some interviews to be more off-the-cuff. Each type has their own pluses and minuses, I guess (even though the former cuts down on a lot of filler words, like "um's," it's possible that, for some listeners, it might come across as unrelatable, a bit too rigid and prepared). Even though the later kind of interview might make transcribing more difficult, it also, does come across as more relatable and not like a strict, boring, university lecture. I also mentioned it because I thought it was important to let hard of hearing people know that I wasn't heavily editing the host's and guest's answer, taking out their filler words, because the idea of that didn't sit right with me, either (because it would, completely, change how their personalities are or come across). So, it's fine. You didn't do anything wrong. I was just trying to give info about my process that I thought might be important for hard-of-hearing people to know. Sure, it can feel, slightly, frustrating and a bit difficult, but I don't mind working on something that's challenging. It's really nothing compared to hard-of-hearing/deaf folks have to deal with (e.g. not being able to have access to some interviews/podcasts, etc., if they're not transcribed).

LeChat Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 @DarkStormyKnight Hi. I saw you'd "liked" my post, about transcribing a podcast. Did you need me to send it to you? I just didn't want to miss anyone else who'd wanted it, before I delete it from my computer. Link to post Share on other sites

It's nice that some people appreciate it; I thought that, since others volunteer their time do help others, that I could, too. Plus, I've transcribed interviews/podcasts, before; it'd been a while. Although, since I came across apps that transcribe audio to text and vice versa, I kind of wondered whether I might've been doing something I didn't need to do, anymore.
