Podbit - Podboat Improved
Podbit is a replacement for newsboat's standard podboat tool for listening to podcasts. It is minimal, performant and abides by the UNIX-philosophy, with an ncurses terminal user interface.
Podbit runs on Linux and the BSDs.
Features
- Reads the standard
newsboatqueue file to integrate seamlessly - Automatic podcast downloading, including in parallel
- Podcast playing using
mpv - Podcast caching and automatic deletion once finished
Requirements
Podbit is written in Go. So, to build, you will need a copy of the Go command line tool. In addition, you will need:
- ncurses development libraries and headers
- A normal install of
mpv - A copy of GNU Make
Because of security issues in the Go tool, the provided Makefile must be used instead of simply go build.

Package ui implements podbit's main UI and front end user code This package runs mostly in a separate UI thread and is as thread-safe as possible Due to limitations in the C library ncurses, the render loop is designed to only let one thread use ncurses callbacks at a time, with as little loss in performance as possible.
