Joe sez, “Hey Cory- Took your advice from little brother and started to teach
myself Python. I wrote my first little script which downloads your
complete podcast archive(see below). I did this after finding out the
iTunes feed was incomplete, and severely needing a Doctorow fix. I
was hoping you could share the script with some of the listeners who
might find themselves a smiler situation.”
Script tested in python 2.7
