A long time ago - may be 15 years ago, I got really bored of listening to an hour of drive-time news on the radio twice a day. I then discovered podcasts, so I bought an MP3 player and wired it through my car stereo. I found downloading podcasts manually a bit of a faff. So I wrote a bash/curl/xsd script to rattle through a list of RSS feeds, download new episodes and create a playlist. It ran on my laptop at home or work and plonked the result on my MP3 player via USB. Now, years later, the script is essentially the same. Except it runs under termux on my phone, and VLC broadcasts the playlist direct to my car or home stereo via bluetooth.
