The BBC have been kind enough to supply podcasts online for iphone users for some time.
Previously I have used the wonderful MobileCast for downloading podcasts on the fly i.e. without iTunes syncing. But again post 2.0 MobileCast is yet to resurface.
In the meantime I've put together another script for downloading BBC podcasts - this time using the new dTunes app to play the file (credits to Richard Shearman http://rsapps.wordpress.com/).
Procedure is as follows:
On the iPhone visit the BBC podcast site for iPhone
Look up your required podcast and allow it to play for a second or so...
Quit from Safari and launch Terminal...
run the new script (podget) as root...
Once the script completes you should find the new podcast available to play under dTunes.
download the script from here, as usual install to /usr/bin/ with permissions of 0777.
(Cydia is a pre-requisite for auto installation of required files, otherwise dTunes & wget must be installed for functionality)
enjoy ... I'll stick a video up when I'm not doing what I'm paid to do.
