I'm launching a new project today called Poddb. It's a podcast
aggregator and search engine built with Sinatra, PostgreSQL, Ruby and
VimScript.

Basically, I was getting tired of going through the byzantine mazes of
npr.org and iTunes to find and download NPR podcasts. So I wrote
Poddb. Enjoy and feedback is welcome.

Please don't take this the wrong way, Daniel ... but between this and vitunes your nerd cred is through the roof.  Like astronomically so.

Awesome work.

Daniel:

Are you familiar with http://www.spokenword.org/ ? I was a fan for years.

Thanks Joel! I just can't stop making command line and console
alternatives to the web and GUI. It's an obsession of mine.

Ted, I'm not familiar with spokenword.org. Thanks for letting me know
about it.
