Automatically populate podcast JSON files from podcast RSS feeds

[pauljacobson]

At the moment, individual podcast JSON files have manually added episode details. A better solution would either be to

1. (somehow) draw on the source RSS feed to automatically update the JSON file, or
2. remove episode details from the JSON file and, instead, have a section with recent podcast episodes using the source RSS feed.

At the same time, it's worth having a complete episode listing (for example, FLOSS Weekly). Still, having to update this manually isn't sustainable. Perhaps a way to address this is to pull in a complete RSS feed, where this is available.

I'm not sure how to do this. I'll do a little research and see if I can find a solution.

Update: This is an interesting solution: RSS to JSON Converter online - rss2json.com (Python API call example)
