I'm posting this request here as it doesn't seem to fit anywhere else.
I'm new to VC and am slowing building my capabilities. For my next activity, I'm at a loss of where to start. It seems simple. I want to play the latest new podcast from CBC. The URL is:
http://podcast.cbc.ca/mp3/hourlynews.mp3
Many thanks.

What do you normally use to play podcasts or other media like music?

Currently I have a sonos system and stream it. I use VC to control my sonos. What I would like is to say "Latest CBC news" and VC fetches the mp3 and then plays it on my sonos.
I was able to have VC scrape the Reuters News website and TTS the headlines to my sonos. Actually I found the code in the forum and updated it. Works well, but I would like the CBC version.

OK. The fact that you wanted to play this on Sonos is kind of an important piece of information!
