Will there ever be transcripts of the audio interviews available?

If these or other sites wish to provide them. We don't dictate the editorial direction or format of the interviews we setup. Our goal is to work with fansites to share design insights directly from the developers. The content they wish to cover, and how they present that information to the community, is their call. :)
