I realize this might not be an active repository given the commit dates, but I have found it is exactly what I need for archiving podcasts.

I frequently get an error: "xargs: unmatched double quote; by default quotes are special to xargs unless you use the -0 option"
This usually seems to be when an rss feed contains characters the script doesn't like.

Is there an easy way to ignore the podcast titles? I would be OK with PodcastName_datetime.mp3 as the filename saved to disk.

Nice to see someone uses this! I haven't had need for a while to make changes, but I'm happy to help with simple stuff. The tool's a bit hacky and could probably use a little redesign eventually, so let me know other things that would be useful.

As for the error, would you be willing to share an rss feed for that for me to debug?

For the title, I updated the scripts to support extracting the pubDate and provided an example of using it to make the podcast filename. If you uncomment this line you can get it to write to just podcast_pubdate. it won't be in a subdirectory anymore, but you can add that back if needed. (This should really be configurable eventually.)
