Simple podcast downloader (podcatcher)

Simple podcast downloader (podcatcher)

The simplest podcast downloader with no configuration, no tagging, no nothing.
It simply downloads missing episodes from supported podcasts to a directory.
That's it.

You don't even have to know the URL of the RSS, you can give it a website URL,
a domain name, or simply the podcast name, it will find out which podcast you want to download.

It doesn't have a complicated UI or fancy features, it's just a command line application.
The download folder and the number of threads can be customized.

I use it in a Jenkins job to synchronize all the episodes to Nextcloud,
so it will be synced to my phone and I can listen the episodes without internet connection.

Supported podcasts

• Talk Python To Me (https://talkpython.fm/)
• Python Bytes (https://pythonbytes.fm/)
• The Changelog (https://changelog.com/podcast)
