This is a simple utilty to build the post "podcast-summary.mdx". It uses node and axois.

This utility is specific to the iOS potdast app "Overcast". I works from an export list of podcast subscriptions, follows those links for details, and builds a .mdx page that can be copied to my blog site.

Here is how to the export the list of subscriptions in an .opml file:

Workaround to see file clearer

The .opml file is basically an xml file. A quick and dirty way to inspect it is:

  • copy to .html
  • use VS Code to format
  • use the following to get a count
  • cat overcast.html | grep title= | wc -l

Wow...I thought I was at 50ish....82 at this writing!
