Hi there!

Does anyone know of any French radio shows or interview-style broadcasts that include accurate transcripts?

Audio lingua has a lot of french audio with transcripts, not programmes though.

https://www.audio-lingua.eu/

--------
http://www.tv5mondeplus.com

is supposed to include subtitles with their programmes, I think its a bit hit and miss though.

--------

Programmes on arte.tv/fr that are made by Arte France (only a subset of the programmes) include french subtitles.

e.g. Le dessous des cartes.

I feel like an absolute fool, but I can't find anything transcribed on the Audio-Lingua website.

Alas the fool is me! My memory at fault, my apologies. :-(

Not a radio show, but great for lower intermediate to intermediate French is the Inner French podcast, which includes very accurate transcripts.

On RFI there are lots of articles in several different languages, some have audio (denoted by the red headphones).
This "podcast" area seems to have mostly (only?) articles in French with audio.

**emphasis is mine**

I think this is going to be a tall order. If I were in your shoes, I'd head to one of the large broadcasters' youtube pages. They have the interview and youtube will do the transcript. No, it's not perfect, but it will get you most of the way there. I like Europe1 (https://www.youtube.com/user/Europe1) and Radio-Canada (https://www.youtube.com/c/RadioCanadaInfo/featured)

Creating an accurate transcript of an unscripted conversation has so little benefit for producers, they rarely do it for free. Not to mention for a population outside of their normal demographic.

There are some transcripts here:

The link to some episodes are broken, but they may still be available at France Culture's website.

In the same vein of podcasts for intermediate learners is the impolyglot podcasts.

https://www.impolyglot.com/home-english

They have paid services but also dozens of podcasts with transcripts for free.

You can find the podcasts on Spotify and iTunes and probably elsewhere.

The topics are less varied than inner French but I like them. There are a lot of episodes on the subject of language learning.
