Common questions
What's the difference between an in-depth read and a transcript?
An in-depth read organizes an episode’s key ideas by topic. Each version shows an estimated reading time. A transcript follows the conversation as it happened, making it easy to find a specific quote. When both are available, you can switch at the top of the reading page.
Do I have to pay?
No. You can follow podcasts, read full transcripts, and read free in-depth reads at no charge. Membership unlocks every published in-depth read. PDF and EPUB downloads are available only for versions licensed for download; joining does not make other files available.
Can I share a downloaded file?
Downloads are for your personal offline reading. Membership does not include permission to redistribute files. Download availability depends on each show’s permissions. When quoting, cite the original source.
Which languages are included?
Both Chinese and English, with no separate charge per language. Languages added later are included as well.
Will my membership renew automatically?
The default is a one-time purchase, with no automatic renewal. You can choose auto-renew instead; the amount and billing period are shown before payment. Cancel renewal in your account anytime and keep access through the end of your paid term.
