You could try to download the auto generated subtitles with youtube-dl.

Sure, but I'm just surprised that such a high-level interview is not available in a curated textual form, sanctioned by the interviewer.

Or better yet, do it oneself: about 70 episodes, 7 billion people and change, it only takes 1 out of 100 million of us to transcribe 1 episode each to clear the work.

Hint: on a desktop browser, beneath the video you may click the "..." menu, select "Open transcript" and voila, you may copy/paste the whole (though UX is awful, I have yet to find a "copy all" button).

Here's a pastebin with minimal formatting for your perusal: https://pastebin.com/RQYhREEc

In the olden days, it was a journalist's job to transcribe their interviews, instead of publishing the raw unedited tapes of the recorded stuff.

It was usually a typist's job, and you paid for the newspaper, instead of watching the interview for free on Youtube.

What would be curated about an interview transcription?
