# Purpose

Podcasts, Audiobbooks, and Books.

# Notes

Mostly for podcast archiving and listening to audiobooks. Backup for [Grimmory](https://docs.alexlebens.dev/applications/grimmory/) for books, but not primary.

Kind of difficult to manage podcasts though, and the phone apps don't auto download to the phone.
