Recirculated Kickstarter

Steve talks about his new Kickstarter to fund transcripts of the podcast.

recirculated

When I started the Circulating Ideas podcast four years ago, I wanted to provide a platform for librarians to share the great work that they’re doing to keep libraries vibrant in the 21st century. I’ve talked to more than 100 librarians and library supporters over the course of the show and generated more than 60 hours of fantastic content, but I’ve found that there are a lot of people that podcasts just don’t reach for a variety of reasons: accessibility issues, different learning styles, or just personal preference, so that’s why I want to do transcripts.

However, accurate transcription is a time-consuming and skilled task, not to mention expensive, so that’s where you can help by supporting my new Kickstarter campaign. There are some pretty cool rewards like stickers, exclusive content, the chance to control the show’s content for an episode and best of all, an DRM-free ebook edition of the transcripts called Recirculated.

Stretch goals include video episodes, additional content added to the ebook, a bank for future transcriptions, and much more.

Even if you can’t donate financially, you can help by spreading the word about the campaign to your colleagues and friends.

Thanks, and let’s keep circulating the ideas!
