Can anyone find a good way to browse? Closest thing I could find to an index is a alphabetical list of guests - but the formatting is made for mobile or something and you have to keep clicking 'load more' every couple of names.

In creating avenues for discovery ('collections' and 'topics') the simplest one seems to have been ignored - just listing all the segments with relevant metadata. Hopefully I'm just missing something obvious.

I really wish podcasts, radio shows, &c would include archive- or collection-based torrents for those of us who want to mass-download episodes to local for offline on-demand.

RSS is wonderful for upkeep but having to perform a manual click-and-save across hundreds or thousands of episodes is a questionable use of time and it's not always easy to web-scrape the .mp3 files via a script.

Maybe I should just go get a smartphone with a monthly data plan just for podcasts, but I really shouldn't have to.

If all old episodes are actually kept in the RSS feed, there are scripts for this.

Here's one: https://gist.github.com/Wowfunhappy/e042b04a34b25bfe25d04b28...

You could also run the script automatically every week to download and backup new episodes—no need for a dedicated podcast phone.

i get around the almost ubiquitous usage of the "more" page design by: 1) going to end of page (END button) 2) clicking 3) repeat until there is no more mores

i only have to move mouse once, as the END button scrolls to the next more at the same spot. Thus it is a rote typing on two alternate keys repeatedly.

It would be nice if there were a JS button doing all automatically.
