Pocketcast podcast/episode Downloader

Job ID: 37621369

Budget: ₹600 – ₹1,500 INR

The purpose of this task is to develop a script specifically for the PocketCast podcast platform.

Acceptance Criteria:

- The import handler must successfully download podcasts given valid PocketCast URLs, e.g.
https://pca.st/mcf1r500
https://pca.st/episode/932c267f-d5c3-42a6-9d2e-0651a9639c4e
- Proper error handling should be implemented for scenarios like invalid URLs or content that cannot be accessed.

the goal is to have the podcast in text form so if the script can get the audio, I can use whisper for transcription.


if found these links for reference but the libraries seem to be old and I cannot get it to work.
