What is This? One line to get and listen to the podcasts you want.

Why? Bloated overly feature stuffed apps with restrictive eulas and walled garden methodologies break some of what made Podcasts the joy they were always meant to be. The Podcasting method was created to make it easier to get the audio offerings you wanted to hear and to offer up your audio creations to a wider audience.

Get the app out of the way, grab the goods and listen. BishBashBosh....done.

How To Use

• Make a directory that will hold the podcasts when they are downloaded.
• In that directory create a files called podcasts.txt that contains one podcast's rss feed url per line. There is an example podcasts.txt available in this repo.
• Then simply copy one of the Options and paste it in a command line.
  • For repeated use save into a .sh file and run that instead.
• Enjoy the Podcasts. Given the option you used the Podcasts are either being stream over your local net, are playing on your Android, or are waiting in the directory you created for you to open them up with the audio player of your liking.
