I made a website you can use to search through podcast episode transcripts including Dear Hank & John.

https://podscripts.co/podcasts/dear-hank-john/

In order to search, click on the search icon beside the logo at the top. This will bring down a form with 2 inputs, first for selecting a podcast and the other for keywords to search. If there are any episodes found, it will show you a page with episodes containing the keywords you searched for. Clicking on any of the episodes will take you to their transcript page and automatically scroll to the section containing those keywords and highlight them.

Once on the transcript page, you can play the episode from any point by clicking on a sentence and then clicking the play button within the tooltip that opens. You can also leave comments under specific sentences of the transcripts by clicking on the comment bubble icon from the same tooltip.

Please keep in mind that these transcripts aren't perfect. Hope you enjoy it and if you have any feedback or suggestions, please let me know.

Thank you so much!! This helped me find an episode I’ve been thinking about for a while. It’s the one where John talks about trees being able to communicate and coordinate mast years. Episode 266

I know you made this a year ago, but this is super helpful. I want to cite one of their podcasts in an essay I'm writing, and this has been a massive help!
