== Why do I do it? ==
== My Activity on the Site ==
I am not very good at generating my own content, but it turns out I have the right personality to do patient transcription work, and amplify the voices of those I support. There aren't very many podcasts that express any interest in facilitating transcriptions though. The SGU is a rare exception in this regard. They put links to the relevant transcription pages on their show notes, and have mentioned the project on their shows in the past, so I can be sure that listeners will actually be able to find my transcriptions once I am done. This is the main reason I transcribe the SGU instead of any of the other shows I like.
In the last year, I have been focusing on transcribing segments from recent episodes that I enjoy the most, or segments that match up with my personal politics the best. This has meant any Forgotten Superhero of Science that has to do with an overlooked woman, any news item that touches a political issue, and all of the What's the Word segments. I am also adding time stamps for all segments on every episode I look at.

I have gone through every episode from 500 to 601, and transcribed any segment that I found particularly interesting.
I love how well organized this website is, and it has inspired me to get more organized in my own life. I am now categorizing news articles and blog posts I read, complete with links and dates, so I can reference them later if I want. I have also grown much more confident in updating wiki-style websites, which I wasn't very good at before.

About D_Inwood[edit]

I have listened to SGU on and off since around the 150th episode, and have been attending skeptical events in Vancouver, Canada for about the same amount of time. My favourite events are the Skepticamps that seem to happen about once a year here.

I have done some transcriptions in the past, mostly on the Atheism Plus Scribe project where I transcribed several episodes of Radio Freethinker. I also transcribed the Science Resources for Children video on Skepchick.

I grew up in Ontario and moved to British Columbia, where I worked in shipping logistics for about a decade ago. I am currently back at school, studying Sociology at SFU. In my spare time I like play the Descent series of games, watch anime, and work on this website.

My Activity on the Site[edit]

In the last year, I have been focusing on transcribing segments from recent episodes that I enjoy the most, or segments that match up with my personal politics the best. This has meant any Forgotten Superhero of Science that has to do with an overlooked woman, any news item that touches a political issue, and all of the What's the Word segments. I am also adding time stamps for all segments on every episode I look at.

I have gone through every episode from 500 to 601, and transcribed any segment that I found particularly interesting.

Segments that deal with things like gun control or global warming can all be found on the Politics page. All of the segments in episodes 500+ that are listed here were done by me.

I have made a total of about 1500 edits. In January of 2017, I started to get tired of the project. I decided that I needed to either stop and do other things with my life, or at least take a good, long break. I may get back into this in the future. It'll depend on how I feel at the time. I really enjoyed working on it during the last year, and I hope more people get involved in the future.
