Title: mp3 audio download?
Post by: Peabody on July 24, 2026, 03:09:21 pm
I've been downloading the audio for years, and listening on an mp3 player at the gym.  But I can't find an mp3 download option on the newly designed site.  Was that a deliberate decision, or just an oversight?  Or is there now a monetization reason to prevent downloads?

The download option is still there, for me:  https://theamphour.com/720-hyper-growth-and-openclaw-interns/ (https://theamphour.com/720-hyper-growth-and-openclaw-interns/)  See attached screenshot (Vivaldi browser under Linux).

But more in general, whenever I want to have a local copy from something like YouTube or one of the many other sites (theamphour works too, see below), I use the program yt-dlp (in a linux terminal) to download mp4's.

mp3's should be an option too: just downloaded it myself as a test and got a working 76.8MB mp3-file of the show. Complete command:

yt-dlp -f mp3 --no-mtime https://theamphour.com/720-hyper-growth-and-openclaw-interns/

Thanks very much.  It appears the "download episode" link has been added since the last time I checked.  So thanks to whoever for making that change.  Particularly since I don't have to switch to Linux to get it.  :-)

Yes, someone wrote in about the download link and I added it, sorry for the hassle! Let us know if there are any other issues!
