Hey Karen- I don’t know about a transcript, but I do know both interviewees wrote articles about this.
Weschler’s was in Truth Dig last week:

and Mr. Anywar’s was in National Geographic before that: http://newswatch.nationalgeographic.com/2012/03/09/kony-2012-a-view-from-northern-uganda/

In the interview Sara talks like Invisible Children isn’t one of these “amazing
Ugandan groups” that are working toward rehabilitating the region in the north.
They should be respected and included among these other organizations.
They have many programs that are locally run and committed to empowering
individuals in northern Uganda as well as programs that help protect civilians in
the currently LRA affected regions of DR Congo and Central African Republic.
They really are working with local communities on all fronts of this conflict.

I was hoping for a transcript or article, too…...

ON the first two segments…
A transcript would be helpful. It is unrealistic to expect most folks (myself included) to follow with the bad sound, along with the unfamiliar subject matter.
