Often, I am asked about Transcripts for The Boldness for Accessibility.

Using Chat GPT, I generated a set of instructions for making Free Transcripts for The Boldness.

Following the instructions, I discovered they worked for The Boldness.

I am sharing the instructions so if people would like or require transcripts, they can do so very easily.

I only tested these instructions for The Boldness podcast.

Hope other people find them beneficial.

Farida Iqbal from Protect NDIS Alliance joins Raph on The Boldness on Wednesday 19 Aug at 6 pm. Essential listening!
“We call on the federal government to stop the cuts. Nobody should be kicked off the NDIS,” said Farida Iqbal, rally organiser, “If politicians are concerned with the national budget, why not tax the gas corporations and billionaires instead of cutting essential services? Right now, when so many disabled people are struggling to survive due to cost of living pressures, it’s time to expand disability services instead of demolishing them.”

****************Special Podcast of The Boldness*****************

Response to NDIS Cuts announced by Minister Butler.

Giancarlo de Vera (they/them) is a respected disability, racial justice and LGBTIQA+ human rights advocate. Giancarlo is CEO of BEING – Mental Health Consumers, the NSW peak body for mental health consumers and psychosocial disability.
We need to know whether there is a genuine safety net for those that may be transitioned off the Scheme, and for those who will now find it harder to access support following yesterday’s announcements.

Failing to fund adequate psychosocial foundational supports will drive people into expensive, involuntary acute care. It will essentially be a crisis tax in the state. New South Wales is already paying a ‘crisis tax’, with crises driving the nearly three-quarters of a billion dollars spent over modelled levels. This 80% blowout should be spent on community support.

BEING calls for immediate transparency regarding the co-design of psychosocial supports, the public exposure of proposed Federal Government laws, and a guarantee that no one will be transitioned until adequate psychosocial foundational supports are in place.

Special Edition of The Boldness Giancarlo de Vera CEO of BEING - Mental Health Consumers - the NSW Peak for Mental Health Consumers and Physcoscocial Disability responds to cuts to the NDIS. They are a respected disability, racial justice and LGBITQA+ Hiuman Rights Advocate.
