Bashpodder

It has been a while since I first posted my version of bashpodder (a console-based podcaster in a single bash script)

Since then a bunch of small fixes have been added to the script to better handle ‘odd’ rss feeds and also to clean up the output.

The configuration of the script now sits in the file ~/.bashpodder Inside this file you can specify where the logs go to and where the files download to (makes it easier to run the script automatically)

A few days ago I installed a new disk in my laptop to replace the existing small one. Being the careful person I am I backed up the important data and then migrated the contents from the old disk to the new one via rsync. Everything worked well and I was able to boot into the new disk right away without issue. That is until I went to update the podcasts I listen to.
