>Speech-to-text is quite good and cheap nowadays. So, why not?

It's gotten comparatively good. But my experience with podcasts was that if I wanted a professional transcript I'd put online--as opposed to this is the general gist of the thing that's better than nothing, possibly just for my own reference--I'd get it done by a person. Wasn't worth my time to do the extensive editing that would be required to polish it.
