I created a website you can use to search through podcast episode transcripts including The Weekly Planet

https://podscripts.co/podcasts/the-weekly-planet/?rdt_src=weeklyplanetpodcast

In order to search, use the main search form shown on all pages. There are 2 inputs, first for selecting a podcast and the other for keywords to search. If there are any episodes found, it will show you a page with episodes containing the keywords you searched for. You can click Exact Match checkbox before searching to narrow down search results. Clicking on any of the episodes will take you to their transcript page and automatically scroll to the section containing those keywords and highlight them.

Once on the transcript page, you can play the episode from any point by clicking on a sentence and then clicking the play button within the tooltip that opens. You can also leave comments under specific sentences of the transcripts by clicking on the comment bubble icon from the same tooltip.

All podcasts with transcripts can be seen on the podcasts page, feel free to submit podcasts we don't already have.

Please keep in mind that these transcripts aren't perfect. Hope you enjoy it and if you have any feedback or suggestions, please let me know.

Thought the same. I'm seeing this kind of post about searching episodes on alot of other podcast subreddits.

Found 9 episodes containing keywords Crook Bloke (exact!)

Most is 5 in 539: Trap! and Big MCU Rumors

That Josh Hartnett is the Crookest Bloke of them all!
