There is no transcript here, and only the host could change that.

These are somebody else's words. The Dental Physio Podcast belongs to whoever makes it, and we are not going to publish a transcript of it without being asked. Claiming the show puts that permission on the file. It is the only thing that could ever put a transcript here, we have not written one yet, and we are not promising a date.
