My new #podcast Before the Future Came isn't going to be about #StarTrek until the SAG-AFTRA strike ends, so we've pivoted to non-ST utopian #scifi, starting with Nnedi Okorafor's novella Binti: https://beforethefuture.space/podcast/s00e01-binti/
Binti is an amazing work. 🤩 We had a lot of fun digging into the themes (violence & empathy, magic in scifi, and ostracization) and geeking about genre-specific stuff we loved. 🐙
(The ep transcript is running a bit behind, but should be up within the next couple of days!)

Content Warnings: blood and injury; frank discussions of racism and xenophobia. We're not yet a Star Trek podcast! Instead, we open with Binti, written by Nnedi Okorafor.Before the Future Came

Unknown parent • • •@sj I've used otter.ai for several years. It lets you keep custom vocab and name lists for its initial pass on recordings and does a good job matching speakers and handling Southern accents. My biggest nitpick is that it's a memory hog in the browser. If I have my usual 80+ tabs open, I can't have it and Mastodon both open while I'm cleaning up a transcript. 😂
I do pay for it on a yearly basis and am grandfathered in on an older plan, so the cost/value ratio might be different for a new user.
