When called with "% python3.10 export.py ./export/", get an error that "author" does not have the replace property.

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/sth/Desktop/export.py", line 100, in export(get_downloaded_episodes(), output_dir) File "/Users/sth/Desktop/export.py", line 54, in export safe_author = author.replace('/', '|').replace(':', ',') AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'replace'

The issue is that I have some very old podcasts where the Author field is blank. I added a single line #54 to create a blank author field. Same might need to be done for the podcast and/or the title field for robustness.

    safe_podcast = podcast.replace('/', '|').replace(':', ',')

++ if (author == None): author=" " safe_author = author.replace('/', '|').replace(':', ',')
