Joe,

I've written a "front end" ZSH script (and associated function library)
and a wrapper around the tool "podget". I call my set of scripts Kuchota
(Swahili for "fetch"). It's running at a handful of stations I work
with. I wrote it for use by people who aren't computer programmers; in
order to use it one simply needs to know what RSS feeds to watch, and
when to run the downloader (crontab setup). It's integrated with
Rivendell's dropbox mechanism.

Kuchota is not currently packaged for any Linux distribution, but you
can see the individual pieces at
https://github.com/opensourceradio/ram/tree/master/usr/local/bin (please
fork and submit pull requests!)

The individual files of interest are:

  kuchota
  pmw-podget-wrapper
  zsh-functions

Podget is available at https://github.com/dvehrs/podget

There are several run-time dependencies, and both kuchota and
pmw-podget-wrapper will tell you what they are when you launch them.

I'll get around to packaging this at some point...

Let me know if you're interested and I'll send more details.
