This is a project which processes transcripts downloaded from the YouTube channel of the Huberman Lab podcast and converts them into Markdown. These Markdown files can then be processed and turned into an epub eBook which can then be read offline.
I'm using a Mac, but anything Unixy will probably do.
Download the required files using yt-dlp:
yt-dlp --write-sub --sub-lang en --sub-format srt --skip-download --write-description 'https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPNW_gerXa4Pc8S2qoUQc5e8Ir97RLuVW'
The project is written in Clojure, so you'll need to install Clojure to run this. Once you have Clojure set up and you have downloaded the files as above:
clj -X huberman.core/process-files
This will produce a series of Markdown files like this:
001. How Your Nervous System Works & Changes.md
002. Master Your Sleep & Be More Alert When Awake.md
003. Using Science to Optimize Sleep, Learning & Metabolism.md
...etc etc...
If you'd like to convert the files into an e-book to read on an e-reader, you can do this using pandoc:
pandoc --metadata title="Huberman Lab" -o huberman.epub *\ *.md
That will output a file called huberman.epub with all the transcripts organised into
chapters and sections. If you want to read this on a Kindle, you can convert it using
either Calibre or
Kindle Previewer.
