Youtube/Rumble Podcast Generator

Create audio podcasts from Youtube Channels and Rumble Channels.

Podtube CLI automatically:

downloads the video from your feed
extracts the audio to mp3 files
downloads thumbnail images
generates an XML RSS feed

Note: Rumble entries are generated by parsing HTML which can break easily. Let us know if it breaks.

Install

pipx install ytube-podcast
