It's in that post, but I second the recommendation of Radio Ambulante. They have free transcriptions on their site and the podcast itself generally has interesting episodes. Notes in Spanish has transcripts as well, but I think you have to pay? Encuentro de Mentes and Tertulia are two others (available on Stitcher for sure, probably elsewhere) that I listen to occasionally, but I've been slacking with podcasts recently. Not sure if those two have transcripts.

I think the transcript is super beneficial in early to intermediate stages, I can't really talk beyond that because I don't incorporate that into my studying anymore really. Not that I shouldn't, but I don't, unless you count reading subtitles while watching Spanish TV.
