podcast downloading tool? (Users)

Hi all,
Honestly, I come back here and the creative house is on fire.
Humbled by the innovators for certain.
My first posts of two is about downloading podcasts.
It is not something I need often. Last time I did, podbean was the
platform used by the artist in question. Using the Links for Dos port
with javascr*** worked just fine.
However, as I require a new item, a specific episode of the Irish
Londoners Podcast, i am wondering if there is a tool that say lets me
take the rss feed, <I got that as an xml file> and download a file?
I believe? that one of the last editions of mpxplay purely for DOS
allows for streaming of some kind, but I simply want to hear this
specific podcast.
Any ideas?

Thanks,

Kare

	Hello, in theory elinks when built with -Dhtml-highlight=true can load rss feeds. Unfortunately binaries for DOS available at github don't have it enabled.

First, thanks for your wisdom here. I use elinks, on Linux shells, along
with adaptive technology.
I did not know there was an Elinks for DOS at all.
That the binaries are missing rss feed support, does-not fully mean it
could not be added?
