Attached is the extension script I use. It saves the files with names like...
20200508---RealPython---Docker + Python for Data Science and Machine
Learning.mp3
That's date---podcast---title.ext.
Save it in your gpodder/extensions directory. Run gpodder and go to Preferences
/ Extensions. Scroll down to the Post Download section and check the box next
to it.
