- Updated all videos to point to our own youtube channel.
- New videos now have future proof naming scheme “kind - last names alphabetic (1 of n)”
- This means that all our old permalinks are broken, but nobody was using them anyway
From here on out, we’re maintaining backward compatibility, for realz. - We now have a bunch of new transcript tooling, but it requires reworking the transcripts we had. Even though some transcripts are gone now, they’ll automatically come back to the articles and permalinks once the new transcripts get merged back in.
- We had an incorrect date on one debate. We had listed “Presidential Debate - Clinton, Trump (3 of 3)” as Oct 16 2016, but it was really Oct 19 2016.
- Added full transcript (using new tooling) for the first Kennedy-Nixon debate.
- The videos in the foundation are now searchable. Only the very first debate has transcripts for now - some interesting terms from that debate are “Soviet Union”, “farm”, and “social security”.
- Added searchable transcripts for:
- 1996-10-06 - Clinton, Dole (1 of 2)
- 2004-10-13 - Bush, Kerry (3 of 3)
- 2008-10-07 - McCain, Obama (2 of 3)
- 2012-10-03 - Obama, Romney (1 of 3)
- Added searchable transcripts for:
- 1980-10-28 - Carter, Reagan (1 of 1)
- 1984-10-07 - Mondale, Reagan (1 of 2)

- Added searchable transcripts for:
- 1960-10-07 - Kennedy, Nixon (2 of 4)

Fix social embed images.
Search no longer returns the same results in multiple places.
- search now sorts results from oldest (at top) to most recent (at bottom)
- changed default search context to “sentences before and after”
