I wanted something which could download all episodes of my favorite podcasts for archiving purposes - so I made this thing. You give it a list of feeds, it will download the podcasts along with the descriptions. You can run it periodically to get the new episodes.
(Clone this repo. Install Elixir.)
Get required depdencies the first time:
mix deps.get
Run:
mix run -e "PodcastDownloader.run"
Or if you want to specify feeds file and downloads folder:
mix run -e "PodcastDownloader.run('feeds', 'downloads')"
