Downloads episodes of PKN from the PKA Podbean account. Update 'numOfEps' when new episodes come out

def download(url, file_name):
	# open in binary mode
	with open(file_name, "wb") as file:

    # I know this looks weird, but the way podbean works is:
    #   There is a url that follows a template: https://painkilleralready.podbean.com/e/pkn-{i}
    #   where i = episode number
    #
    #   There is a downlaod button on that page that redirects to the page with the real download button.
    #
    #   This page has no standard, and neither do the direct urls, so we have to scrape two pages to get
    #   the actual download url, and then download it



    # url of podbean page (there is a standard, so we can follow that)
    url = f"https://painkilleralready.podbean.com/e/pkn-{i}/"

    # download podbean page so we can get the download page url (stored in <a> with class 'post_toolbar_download')
    url = BeautifulSoup(requests.get(url).content, "html.parser").find(class_="post_toolbar_download")["href"]

    # get the actual download url (stored in <a> with class 'download-btn')
    dl_url = BeautifulSoup(requests.get(url).content, "html.parser").find(class_="download-btn")["href"]

    # create new file name
    name = f"PKN {i:03}.mp3"

    # download episode from dl_url
    print(f"Downloading episode: {i}", flush=True)
