Just found this website that pulls down an mp3 of a podcast episode. Comes in handy at times.

you dont much like the command line right?
I don't have problems with CLI. My issue is I don't know what to type into the CLI to get shit done.
yeah, and its hard to find sometimes if you have any sort of life with time demands.
I do need to become better at CL though. I know it's way faster and allows for way more things to get done than waiting around for someone to build a website.
the downloading part is actually really simple. cURL, wget, or BSD’s ftp command can do it. even yt-dlp works. the complicated part is finding the audio file enclosure. alot of people hide it these days which is retarded. i use a command line feed viewer called newsraft to reveal the file URLs. but again, i had to spend an hour or two reading the man page to figure out how to use it. that time factor again.
I relate to nostr:npub1vwymuey3u7mf860ndrkw3r7dz30s0srg6tqmhtjzg7umtm6rn5eq2qzugd with CLI, I'm intimidated. But I was able to use AI and build out yt-dlp. I was amazed that it worked. Just create a folder for the project follow the AI commands and Bob's your uncle.
Try this out. Its yt-dlp but with a GUI. Just paste the url in.
cool!

gPodder is great for archiving an entire feed. https://podcastindex.org also has the ability to download the mp3 file. It's perfect for when you just need to quickly download an episode here and there.
Why not just use fountain?
I've never been able to take a fountain podcast offline to hear on a plane..
Oh shit i could use this to get back my lost episodes! Had a SSD failure awhile back lost like 60 something episodes.
