Some podcasts seem to block urllib2, this works around the block by changing the user agent.

thanks for your Pull Request ... will lok into this

raptor2101 commented 4 years ago

can you make a retest with the "request" approach, if the UserAgent is still needed?

I'll give 3ff52650c751eacc1c6af44d1e70befa35ceb64b a try at home! Note that if they block urllib2, they might also block requests at some point. You could avoid this by setting a custom useragent, like "podcatcher-", then they have to block your app explicitly if they want to.
