My favorite music player is cmus (absolutely amazing TUI player when you don't want to mess with mpd), and while it has a file explorer feature, it doesn't come with a podcast manager. I'm using this little program alongside cmus so that I can listen to podcasts and music from the same interface, which is why this repo focuses on listing and downloading bits of managing podcasts.
In cmus, I also assigned F2 to run cd /srv/rec/podcast (the git-cloned root of this repo) and open the list of podcasts, saving myself from the pain of navigating through my messy filesystem!
