Built on Apple Podcasts' official RSS rather than only scraping YouTube channels — otherwise audio-only shows (Acquired, Odd Lots, Invest Like the Best) and Chinese-language podcasts would be missing wholesale. Feed URLs are not hard-coded: when a show changes host, the address is re-resolved from Apple's directory, so it does not silently go stale.
T1 means read every episode; T2 when there is real substance; T3 only for an unusually strong episode.
