How to transcribe podcast audio (WhisperX with speaker diarization)

I do a lot of podcast transcription work and had need for it again today. The HuggingFace spaces (like this one https://huggingface.co/spaces/vumichien/whisper-speaker-diarization) always error out so aren't very useful.

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
