Michael Babcock<p>🎉 Just had an incredible experience diving into Python's power! 🐍 With some guidance, I now have a custom script that:</p><p>1️⃣ Parses RSS feeds. <br>2️⃣ Downloads podcast episodes as `.mp3` files. <br>3️⃣ Creates matching `.txt` files with episode notes (complete with publication dates). <br>4️⃣ Lets me search/filter episodes by keywords. <br>5️⃣ Organizes downloads into clean folders. <br>6️⃣ Tracks how long it takes and prompts me to clean up afterward.</p><p>🔥 And the best part? I didn’t write the code myself but was involved every step of the way, shaping it to solve my needs.
