A while ago I wrote a Perl script that would create a RSS feed so I could listen to the podcast outside of iTunes (e.g. Miro). It stopped a few months back when I moved servers. It’s working again.
A long time ago when I used iTunes on my WinXP laptop I was able to subscribe to the Too Jewish with Rabbi Sam Cohon & Friends podcast through the iTunes Store. Since my main desktop runs Ubuntu Linux 9.04 and the RhythmBox Music Player is unable to retrieve podcast from the iTunes Store, I was at a loss as to how to listen to the podcast.
I sent numerous emails to the webmasters at toojewishradio@yahoo.com requesting a RSS feed of the podcast to no avail. So… I wrote a small Perl application to create two RSS feeds:
Please note that I’m only generating and hosting the RSS feeds and NOT the podcast files. The podcast is a product of Temple Emanu-El.
Update: The source code is available at Source code for scraping the website of Too Jewish Radio program to create two RSS feeds (audio podcast)
