Requiring support for each podcast is an odd design choice...

Supported podcasts list is confusing, suggesting only six hard-coded podcasts

readme and (Supported podcasts) is confusing. Makes one think it only supports downloading six hard coded podcasts. I assume that is not correct?

gPodder is already pretty great at this and doesn't require per-podcast config files. Some time ago I even made a simple WebUI for it: https://github.com/nmaggioni/dashpodder
