Ask HN: Why is it so hard to download podcasts?
Many people have given their "why," but I'll give another "how".
castget¹ is a simple tool that does exactly what you want, just add a feed URL and it pulls all the episodes. It has a nice catchup mode so you can add feeds that you've listened to elsewhere without pulling all the old episodes too. hpodder² is another tool I've used in the past, but I can't remember why I switched.
Depending on how much you like cobbling together your own solution html-xml-utils³ makes it incredibly easy to script a solution. For example, "curl feed | hxselect -c -s '\n' 'enclosure::attr(url)'" would list just the URLs. feedparser⁴ is a battle tested solution for processing feeds if you'd prefer a proper solution over a hacky shell script.

Episode 130: Arcade Fire Is Canceled, Student Loans Are Canceled, Everyone Is Canceled
Personally, I use castget to save everything locally and then sync it to my phone and play the files with AudioAnchor, but my methods are rather eccentric.

Episode 85: We Have A Big Announcement And We're Celebrating With A Book Burning (With Kat Rosenfield)
Something about the substack migration created a hiccup with the RSS feed that caused castget to download a bunch of duplicate files with slightly different names. I can sort them out by timestamp, but some of them aren't duplicates... :-/
