Prerequisites

This script requires the ability to run a Clojure file, which in turn depends on the Java run time.

Alias clj to java -cp clojure-1.5.1.jar clojure.main

Run the clj file like this:

clj my-script.clj

Homebrew has a Clojure formula that automates the above process.

Usage

Click the Manage Subscription link.

Copy the "RSS Feed" link.

Run the railscast-download.clj script from the command line:

clj railscast-download.clj -rss your-rss-link -type media-format

The default media format is mp4 - the -type argument can be left out in this case.
