Did a bunch of work to my daily news podcast downloader. It had started failing because apparently podcast hosting providers don't like the user agent that python-requests uses by default, so i had to figure out how to set that in my script. re-worked the flow of the script so that the different functions were actually written in functions. and added some error checking, and history! Now it will not re-download a show that its downloaded in the past (because I don't care about yesterdays news, i just want todays).
It's still public, here, if anyone would like to steal it for their own use:

Not gonna lie, i had gemini help me with some of the code. I know enough python to be dangerous, so when i get into things like... setting a user agent in urllib.. i need a hand. lol.
