Post the contents of your bp.conf file and see what other people are listening to and find out about new podcasts.

That post above is mine. I didn't notice that I wasn't logged in. Sorry.

I'm pretty new to this so I've got mostly a stock bp.conf. I've removed LUGRadio (I mirror for them and don't need Bashpodder to get the file) and TLLTS (I grab it manually as soon as it comes out).

Here are a few I've added:

History accoring to Bob - a short history lesson every day

Laid-back - some funky music
http://www.laid-back.be/laidback.xml

Learn a Song a day! - old, boring folk songs
http://www.manythings.org/songs/rss.xml

Tokyo Calling - a teacher in Japan talks about living in Japan
http://tokyocalling.org/index.xml

Hope this helps someone. I'm looking forward to checking out links from other people.

Thanks for recommending Tokyo Calling, Gomer_X. I like hearing almost anything about Japan, especially when it is from someone who is currently living in Japan. I have only listened to episode 16, so far, but I will keep this in my bp.conf file for a while.

It seems kinda spotty. I wish he would do more on Japan and Japanese culture, but it's definitely worth a listen.

The last one (episode 18 ) was kinda odd, but it seems he's got some new things coming up.

It's not too hard. Helps if you know a little BASH scripting. You should have bashpodder.shell and bp.conf in the same directory.

If you just run it (type ./bashpodder.shell), it should take off and download everything. You may want to copy bp.conf to bp.conf.old or something and edit bp.conf. You'll see that the conf file is just a list of URLs to the RSS feed of the podcast. I delted the URLs for LUGRadio and TLLTS because I already had the files and didn't want to download them again.

It might be wise to narrow your list at first and then build it back up unless you want to download 100s of megs at once. There are a lot of podcasts in the defualt bp.conf.

Once I got it working, I put it in my crontab, and it just runs every night.

I just did 'crontab -e' and added the line

Code: Select all

10 23 * * * /home/jeff/audio/pod/bashpodder.shell

and that was it. That sets a cron job to start bashpodder at 11:10 PM (that's where the 10 23 comes from) every night. You'll have to put in the path to your bashpodder.shell unless it's actually in /home/jeff/audio/pod.

Holla back if you need more help.
