Can anyone find a good way to browse? Closest thing I could find to an index is a alphabetical list of guests - but the formatting is made for mobile or something and you have to keep clicking 'load more' every couple of names. https://freshairarchive.org/search/guests https://freshairarchive.org/search/guests In creating avenues for discovery ('collections' and 'topics') the simplest one seems to have been ignored - just listing all the segments with relevant metadata. Hopefully I'm just missing something obvious.

I really wish podcasts, radio shows, &c would include archive- or collection-based torrents for those of us who want to mass-download episodes to local for offline on-demand. RSS is wonderful for upkeep but having to perform a manual click-and-save across hundreds or thousands of episodes is a questionable use of time and it's not always easy to web-scrape the .mp3 files via a script. Maybe I should just go get a smartphone with a monthly data plan just for podcasts, but I really shouldn't have to.

  If all old episodes are actually kept in the RSS feed, there are scripts for this. Here's one: https://gist.github.com/Wowfunhappy/e042b04a34b25bfe25d04b28914196d4 https://gist.github.com/Wowfunhappy/e042b04a34b25bfe25d04b28... You could also run the script automatically every week to download and backup new episodes—no need for a dedicated podcast phone.

i get around the almost ubiquitous usage of the "more" page design by: 1) going to end of page (END button) 2) clicking 3) repeat until there is no more mores i only have to move mouse once, as the END button scrolls to the next more at the same spot. Thus it is a rote typing on two alternate keys repeatedly. It would be nice if there were a JS button doing all automatically.
