Transcripts
Out of principle, the Antidote Writers Collective prepares all transcripts by hand. No love for AI here. Attentive and conscientious humans still do better work.
Additionally, this is labor we are willing to do upon request or suggestion, with adequate compensation: we’re an unfunded project so we can be coaxed into selling our labor for money. But! if we like the material we’re transcribing we also accept permission to post as fair reward.

Democracy Has Ended in Brazil
“We’ve entered a new state of exception through an illegal impeachment process, and I don’t have very much hope that anything’s going to change by 2018. The only left candidate who has a chance of winning is Lula, and they’re going to try to arrest him or kill him before 2018.”
