I was disappointed to follow a link to what I thought would be an article that I could read immediately…and found a podcast without a transcript. In order to get the information, I would need to remember to add the link to my podcast subscriptions (on my home computer, since we can’t use iTunes at work), download the file, and listen to it to find the information….at least 6 hours later, if I bother at all. This is an improved experience over a text page how?

Like flash sites that offer non-flash versions, I really think that informational podcasts should offer a text transcript.

How many users do you need to show that podcasts stink? Not this one in particular mind you – podcasts in general. You can’t browse them, you can’t search them, you can’t make them go faster – how is this good?

I’d love to see a study that took a group of podcasts and compared offering just the podcast versus just a transcript versus offering both. Anyone?

Thanks, guys! It’s good to be armed with some other ideas, since this question will keep coming back from potshot-takers both informed and un-.

We welcome an opportunity to test with more users — but often its a case of can the client do it given “time” and “budget”.

In research where we have tested with 8+ users, its nice to be able to have the flexibility to adjust the test plan, investigation questions, iterate the designs accordingly (using wire frames) and test for new findings during the test.

This works well but requires the client to understand an iterative and more agile approach
