Episode 151: By the Book (ad-free)

It’s a belief that’s taken all shapes and forms, but there’s one common thread tying it all together: books.

Hi Nora, thanks for the support! Sadly, we haven't offered transcripts as a Patreon reward for a couple of years, so I'm guessing that the blog post you found was most likely an old one.

Hi there, I just set up a Patreon because I was linked from a blog that said I could get episode transcripts for accessibility purposes by being a paying supporter. Is it possible for me to get a transcript of this episode? Thanks!
