Transcription Hell

Some of you may be wondering why the flow of posts seems to have slowed to a crawl. The answer, in a nutshell, is that we’re now tackling the job of transcribing the 20-30 hours of interviews we’ve done so far. By the time we’re done, I hope that we’ll have a nice little oral history of the Wisconsin cheese industry on our hands. In the meantime, my hands are absolutely killing me. I don’t recommend the experience of typing 10,000 words a day.
