As many of you have probably heard, the McElroys announced they will be transcribing all their shows from now on, including their backlogs. This is great news! The goal of this project has always been accessibility, and there’s nothing more accessible than creators putting out accessible content from the start.

We can’t begin to properly thank all of the volunteers and supporters of this project. This was a true labor of love, and for me personally, a reminder of the inherent goodness and generosity of people. I will literally never forget how folks came together to get this project off the ground, and how much we all accomplished together (105 transcripts, many more partway done, and so much awareness about accessibility spread). Thank you!!

The transcripts that have already been made won’t be going anywhere. You can still find all of them here, or by clicking on “Transcripts” on the main blog. And this blog will stick around at least until the transcripts are all up on the McElroys’ end.

Again, thank you. The world is a little bit more accessible than it was and that’s thanks to all of you.

What can we do to help, esp if we're HOH/Deaf/deaf/etc and can't help with transcripts?

spreading the word about @mbmbamscripts is a great way to help! not only to hopefully get more volunteers (we always, always need more volunteers) but also to get the word out so that deaf/HoH folks know that transcripts for MBMBAM exist and are in the works!

Transcripts As transcripts are completed, they’ll be published here for your viewing pleasure. To see transcripts that still need work, check out the Master Tracking document. Regular Episodes 001: Gettin’ Beebed002: Holding a Stranger’s Hand003: My Walnut is a Temple004: Hey Jeffrey 005: M...

Just a reminder that all the completed MBMBAM transcripts can be found here! Thank you so much to all our incredible volunteers who have made 70+ episodes accessible at this point!

If you want to help us transcribe every episode of MBMBAM, check out the Master Tracking document for all the info.

Thanks again for being the coolest babies ever.

Hey, MBMBAM fans!

If you haven’t heard, we’re over here trying to transcribe every episode of My Brother, My Brother and Me to make the podcast more accessible. You can jump in at any time, transcribe any episode you want, and keep track of the progress when you’re finished so that someone else can jump in. (This is our Master Tracking doc, which has all the details.)

If you don’t have the time or ability to transcribe yourself, we’re also looking for proofreaders! Basically, people to go through the episode and correct any mistakes and make sure things are formatted according to our Formatting Guide.

So if editing is more your speed, you can see the list of episodes that need to be checked here. There’s currently 13 episodes waiting to be finished.

Please reblog! We’re always on the lookout for more volunteers, since there’s a big backlog of episodes to transcribe. :) And thank you for being the coolest babies ever.

MBMBaMScript of the Day!

Griffin: Justin, you got real quiet. Are you okay?

Justin: I just… sometimes it gets… [sighs]

Travis: Is it too real?

Justin: The walls you try to put up for yourself, you think that they’re to keep...the person I know as Justin inside, but it turns out the walls have been there to keep all this out the whole time, you know?

Griffin: Because maybe, just maybe –  it’s your thing?

Justin: It’s gotta be somebody’s thing. What if it’s my thing? Like, how much of me guarding myself...maybe some of my social anxiety can be traced back to the fact that I’m constantly worried I’m gonna be like, “woof! Let’s fuck!”

Griffin: We can’t let those fears control where we go on this show, you know? We have to have this agreement: no limits, no restraints, take this pill, let’s go down this sexual oubliette together – 

Travis: Some restraints, but only if they’re extreme.

Griffin: Yeah...we have to figure – we gotta – this show is a sexual spirit journey. In more ways than one. And when we start pulling back a little bit, when we start holding back the reins...

Travis: Do you remember three years ago when we sat down and we started discussing doing this show, and we said, “We’re gonna do this show for one reason and one reason alone.”

Griffin: Mmhmm.

Travis: “To learn about ourselves sexually.”

Griffin: Mmhmm!

[Justin bursts into laughter]

Justin: Come! My Brother, My Brother and Me – come listen to three brothers discover themselves sexually!

Hey, friends! I just started a twitter for this project to recruit more volunteers. Also, hi, I’m very very bad at twitter. If you could, could you retweet this far and wide to help spread the word? Thank you sooo much, you’re all collectively my favorite.

Transcripts As transcripts are completed, they’ll be added here for your viewing pleasure. To see transcripts that still need work, check out the Master Tracking document. Regular Episodes 001: Gettin’ Beebed002: Holding a Stranger’s Hand003: My Walnut is a Temple004: Hey Jeffrey006: Time ...

A little update: I’ve moved the list of completed transcripts over to a Google doc, rather than a page here on tumblr because maintaining the page was getting untenable. Also, this way it’s accessible for mobile users.

Anyway, check it out! As of posting this, there are 46 completed transcripts, with 12 more that are done and awaiting formatting! You are all so awesome, I can’t even stand it. <33
