Planet Money but it's all episodes

The feed is available here:

Planetmoney-rss is a repository to assemble a podcast feed containing ALL Planet Money episodes, including all old episodes going back to 2008. NPR's official feed only includes the most recent 300 of the show's more-than-1000 episodes due to an iTunes limitation.

All episodes < 2019-05-01 were scraped from NPR's Planet Money website and exported into an XML RSS file using Python code (npr_pm_rip.py). In 2019, NPR STOPPED updating that site with podcast episodes, so that script is no longer used.

Episodes >= 2019-05-01 are directly copied from the official NPR feed at https://feeds.npr.org/510289/podcast.xml. This is less work for me and also ensures correct metadata. Needs to be done every 2-3 years before episodes fall off the official feed (should be managable if I don't die). I now manually run wget_feed_HEAD.sh and then copypaste the appropriate entries into npr_pm_feed.xml.
