We’re posting transcripts of Working, Slate’s podcast about what people do all day, exclusively for Slate Plus members. What follows is the transcript for Season 4, Episode 1, in which the host of WYNC’s Micropolis series, Arun Venugopal, talks to Elena Waldman, a self-defense instructor at MKD Karate in Queens, New York, about how she came to be a martial artist. Waldman demonstrates how to escape from a violent sexual perpetrator, and talks about a personal attack that has informed the way she teachers her students. Plus, for the Slate Plus bonus segment, Waldman explains how to disable any attacker in less than 30 seconds. To learn more about Working, click here.
