Last night I finished transcribing my final interview! I'm elated, although nowhere near done. I've still got the whole thing to write, you know! I've been devoting so much time to transcribing, I almost feel like I'm not sure what do to now, sitting down at my desk. I know what to do, and I'll dig into it as soon as I finish this little update. I have a bit more thematic coding of my blog writing (see this post) and of my beautiful interview transcripts. That should be pretty quick and simple. Additionally, I have yet to share most of the audio files of the interviews with the folks I interviewed. Not for stinginess, just because there's a bunch of stuff to do, and I haven't gotten to it yet. So that's what I'll be sifting through over the next week or so.
I've got 80+ hours of audio recordings from interviews and 25 hours of video from various events in Detroit. I often get asked who I've interviewed, so here's a list. It's not going to grow much over the next while, but after I get my dissertation completed, there will definitely be more interviewing in preparation for the book.

Adam Francesconi
Adriel Thornton
Alan Oldham
Angie Schwendenman
Andrew Babson

All right, I'll be back in a minute...

I think transcribing interviews is one of the most tedious tasks while working on a dissertation or thesis paper. And some problems will come up like crappy voice reception, the surrounding sound is much louder than the voice, and much more that can be bad in the dissertation. Anyway, working on it can really be hard so it is good that you manage to handle 80+ hours of audio recording. You certainly deserve what you are getting today.
