This is why I believe shownotes are so important. Include text, links, chapter marks/titles already in the podcast feed... transcripts via AWS/wit.ai or other cloud services...
Show notes are vital for podcasts. Often, I will just skip over a podcast if the show notes are lacking. I just know they will say something interesting that I would never be able to get back to unless I listen through it again.
A lot of podcasts these days just add transcripts and leave it at that. Transcripts are better than nothing and probably good for the podcast producers for SEO or whatever but I don't find them all that useful. IMHO the show notes must have links for every broad topic, concept, person, book, project, conference talk mentioned.
Hey sigjuice! I couldn't agree more about the importance of show notes for podcasts.
I am actually doing some market research around power listeners that like to refer to show notes in podcasts. I would love to talk to you for 20 mins and ask you a few questions to learn from you. Happy to buy you a coffee in return (via paypal / venmo) :)
