Hospital Records podcasting with Python

23 Oct 2010

I've recently started listening to the Hospital Records podcast while at work when I can't think of anything to listen to on Spotify. Since I have no music on my work computer, and therefore no proper media player, I lack the ability to use the podcasting service properly and so I wrote a small Python script to do it for me.

./hospitalrecords.py --list

Shows a list of the recent podcasts in reverse chronological order. The numbers printed on each line are identifiers for each podcast.

./hospitalrecords.py --info 2

Show the date and tracklisting for the second podcast in the list.

./hospitalrecords.py --get 2

Downloads the second podcast in the list. The mp3 will be saved in the current working directory.
