Coaching Moment:
A better way to download all the mp3s from a podcast's RSS feed.
This comes in handy for making copies for offline storage of a new client who never kept their files, or you need to edit out baked-in ads when migrating a client to a service with dynamic insertion.
I hope this helps!
