Hi there,
These podcasts are awesome!
I was wondering if I might be able to get access to some of the transcripts of the Arabic episodes.
I’m trying to learn Arabic at the moment and so it would be amazing to be able to read and listen to الجباية ببساطة
Thanks
Thank you Benjamin! Unfortunately we don’t have the resources to provide transcripts, even though we do recognise how useful they are for listeners.
