This is a collection of transcribed episodes of The Grey NATO podcast.

The Grey NATO, often referred to as 'TGN', is a podcast about adventure, travel, gear, and most certainly watches, created and hosted by James Stacey & Jason Heaton.

This site, 'The Compleat TGN', is an unaffiliated side project, aiming to provide good-enough transcripts of the episodes plus the per-episode links and show notes. (And a search function. Important, that.)

The title is a nod to the Compleat Angler, a book by Izaak Walton, first published in 1653. (Chris Sohl suggests that it could also be a nod to The Compleat Goggler, a 1938 book by Guy Gilpatric who was an inspiration to Jacques Cousteau. I like that idea too.)

Dive in and read

Each episode has its own page with transcript, episode page link and (coming soon!) show notes/links.

How it works

Full source code is on github - unix tools, some python and a Makefile. The key tech was the whisper.cpp project for speech-to-text. After getting the project working, I rewrote the code to use WhisperX on OctoAI which is able to discern individual voices for a much improved output.
