A simple podcast downloading program that will write customizable metadata to ID3 tags embedded in each file.

Requires python 3.6 or newer

% git clone https://github.com/mcarlton00/podcast-downloader
% cd podcast downloader
% pip install -r requirements.txt

1. Set up your config file in the same directory as podcast-downloader.py with your desired storage path and the details of the various feeds that you'd like to download

path: /home/matt/Podcasts
podcasts:
  No Instructions:
    feed: https://www.iliketomakestuff.com/feed/podcast/no-instructions-audio-podcast
  The Way I Heard It:
    artist: Mike Rowe
    feed: http://thewayiheardit.rsvmedia.com/rss/

• Note that feed is the only required field. artist and album are optional if you'd like to manually define metadata for a given podcast series. If they're left blank, they will default to using the podcast name for both fields.

2. Run the downloader: /path/to/python3 podcast-downloader.py. It will print progress as it works through each feed in your config file.
