How can I download this podcast?
This is a podcast aired by BBC a few years ago. Normally a download option is available but since this has been hosted for a long time, they took off the download
button, maybe some policy they follow.
Is there still a way to download this podcast?

Thanks in advance for any assitance extended?
- detaro 6y agoCan't test it right now, but seems like it's an rtmp stream - try youtube-dl?
- godelmachine 6y agoI have downloaded Youtube-DL on my Windows 7 machine but have never done this kinda stuff before? Would you please guide me around, if it's not too much of an ask?
- totetsu 6y agoIt's been a while but.. - open start menu - type cmd - drag and drop the Youtube-DL.exe file from where ever it is onto the cmd window. This should type out the whole path to the file - put a space after the exe path and then put in the URL of the podcast you want. you might have to put a few options first. - You might have to use the stream URL(as in the url of the media stream, not the url of the page), which you can find from .. maybe open your browsers "inspector" and go to the network tab, and play the stream and see what url it actually starts loading..

- matja 6y agoyoutube-dl is a command-line tool which downloads a webpage (not just youtube), finds the audio/video media link(s) on the page, and downloads them to whatever format the links are in, or a container format that is compatible in storing them in. That's your basic usage - open a command shell (cmd.exe on Windows) and run "youtube-dl <url>". The basic usage might give you a file format which isn't entirely appropriate, like a .flv/.mp4 of a audio file. It has special handling for lots of different sites, to be able to parse site-specific Javascript, navigate custom media players, etc, to get the media that you request. Additional options like --extract-audio do some additional processing to get exactly what you specify - I think it needs ffmpeg installed which you'd need to download and add to your %PATH% environment variable on Windows - I haven't tried on Windows myself.
- gitgud 6y agoIs there a list of supported websites for youtube-dl? Or does it just automatically grab whatever media is in the URL page?
- matja 6y agoIt has to be supported, there's a list here: https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/blob/master/docs/supportedsites.md https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/blob/master/docs/supp...
