BashPodder is a podcast client written in bash. It was created by Linc Fessenden, one of the hosts of The Linux Link Tech Show. It is designed to be a simple, fast, and lightweight podcast client that always works. It is designed to conform to the KISS principle ("Keep it simple, stupid"). Various GUIs also exist for BashPodder.
BashPodder has been successfully run on Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, AIX, NetBSD, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, and Microsoft Windows.
