# Generate podcast
A [babashka](https://github.com/borkdude/babashka/) script to transform a
directory of mp3 files into an XML file that can be used to subscribe as a
podcast in iTunes (and possibly other music programs?).
This is a great way to enjoy conference talks on your iPod or mobile phone.
## Usage
- Install [babashka](https://github.com/borkdude/babashka/).
- Place the script `generate_podcast.clj` somewhere on your path.
- Create a directory with `.mp3` files. E.g. download [Clojure Conj
2019](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnvtPzEH-d8&list=PLZdCLR02grLqSy15ALLAZDU6LGpAJDrAQ)
as mp3 files with [youtube-dl](https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl).
``` shell
$ mkdir -p conj2019 && cd conj2019
$ youtube-dl -x --audio-format mp3 "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnvtPzEH-d8&list=PLZdCLR02grLqSy15ALLAZDU6LGpAJDrAQ"
```
- Start a local webserver in the mp3-files directory
``` shell
$ python -m SimpleHTTPServer
Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8000 ...
```
- In another shell, generate the podcast file from inside the mp3-files directory:
``` shell
$ cd conj2019
$ generate_podcast.clj -h
generate_podcast.clj:
-f --file FILE Podcast file to generate :default podcast.xml
-t --title TITLE Title for the podcast
-b --base-url URL Base URL of server
-h --help
$ generate_podcast.clj -f conj2019.xml -b http://localhost:8000 -t "Clojure Conj 2019"
Written podcast for Clojure Conj 2019 at conj2019.xml
```
- In iTunes, subscribe to the podcast: `File > Subscribe to podcast > http://localhost:8000/conj2019.xml`.
Happy listening!
