Last shall be first: Dan Peterson's FairMormon presentation 2017

[Calm]

 It was decided to put Dan's talk on live streaming for yesterday and then continue on. I can't embed the video, doesn't take, so follow the link please:

Transcript will follow when ready.

Have at least another in the wings waiting for final call, so shouldn't be long (transcript though, paid video...helps cover the conference costs)

Out of curiosity what's the usual time frame of conference talks being transcribed.

[Calm]

I haven't kept track well enough, plus it improves overtime as speakers are better at sending us their stuff and we (meaning the committee I am not on) get better at coordinating the work as well as the tech gets better for the videos.

I would say (but might be totally off) that now most transcripts get put up within three weeks with a few taking another month or two (a lot just depends on the speaker's getting a chance to clear it if they didn't keep to a script well or have more difficult words, such as obscure names that need to be doublechecked); videos I have no clue about because I don't use them.  You might look at the threads with the FairMormon Conference tag, I tried to remember at least last year to tag the announcement threads.  Not sure I got them all or if I did it the previous years.  Others might have though when they beat me to getting them up.

Listened.

Many thanks! I tried listening to this when I got home from visits with the Elders late last night ... and then woke up around 2:00 this morning, still in my tie, laptop out of battery power. The few minutes I remember hearing piqued my interest. I definitely need a transcript...

That was a good speech.  Thanks for linking--wish I was there.

Not as good as a full transcript or a video, but useful if one wants to read a summary: Here is my Church News report of Dan's presentation:

I listened to a bit of it, and it was interesting to think that we're now at a point where not only must the claims of our specific religion be defended, but the very idea of religion itself must be defended!
