Im new to podcasts and so far I've found one major problem with all pod-getters (I know there is a better name, but it escapes me now). That is that they don't have a way to build a history or ignore list the first time they visit a site. On a dial-up line this means many-many-many hours of download just to fill the history log. I've changed your bashpod shell script with the option of running with a -f or --first flag. This then builds a "getfile", that can be edited, but at the same time it puts all the file names into the history log. Once the getfile is built and edited then wget is run with that file as the input-file. I've also put all the file names at the top as Shell Variables so they can be changed easily.
