I’m a big fan of Hidden Brain. I don’t recall whether they post transcripts. If they do, there should be a link on each episodes information page.
Hidden Brain is one of my favorites. Most of the weekend programs on my local public radio station are my favorites. The Moth, Snap Judgement, Wait, Wait, don't tell me, This American Life and On the Media are favorites as well.

InTheKnow began Food Waste on FF ... Interesting post #58, after an extended absence extolling the virtues of #57.

KOSU is three hours ahead, so I can hear morning news at my insanely early 3:57 AM alarm. If Alexa responds that something is offline and won’t play, try telling her to “resume” or “resume playing iHeart radio” and that will often do the trick.
