Yeah, they're the filenames of the files on NPR's website. |

If you go to the page for any of the individual episodes and then hover over the "download" link you'll see them to have this kind of naming convention (it may have changed slightly since 2015, though). |

I would have assumed the podcast feed (RSS or whatever?) would contain both the link to the episode, with a filename like this, and also a human readable name, such as "Episode #566 - The Zoo Economy". |

I expected the podcast downloader app to rename the episodes human-readably, so I'm wondering if I've got a bad URL for the feed, if the feed is broken or the app. |
