Podd: a CLI podcatcher

If you're anything like me, you listen to a lot of podcasts. I like to archive all of my favorites on my home server,
where I serve them to all my various devices via Plex. I looked around for a podcatcher that would manage my podcasts
and could be run as a cron job, but I didn't find anything that really met my needs. So I decided to write my own.
Podd uses feedparser to parse RSS feeds, a sqlite3 database to store
subscription info, and mutagen for basic tagging functionality, plus it
sends you an email letting you know which episodes were downloaded, along with a summary of each episode.
Installation
PYPI
pip install podd
Git

git clone https://github.com/jakkso/Podd.git
cd Podd
pip3 install -r requirements.txt to install dependencies.
Configure settings.py

I use a spare Gmail account to send the notification email messages, if you plan on doing the same, the host
and port values are fine. Using app-specific passwords like I'm doing here is a bit of a security risk, which is
why I recommend not using your main Gmail account. If you want to go this route, you'll need to enable
app-specific passwords. Note: the password is stored in
the OS keyring.
By default, database setting places the sqlite database in the same directory as settings.py. If you want to
put it someplace else, just change that line to where you want it to be.

Requirements

Python 3.6+ (F-strings are the bomb!)
Some *nix flavor. It runs on the latest version of MacOS and Ubuntu with no problems, but I lack a working windows
installation to test. If you want to port it, go nuts.
