[grc] How to automate downloading Making Contact?

[Mike Carroll]

David, I would indeed be interested in how to do that - since we also run
Rivendell (2.19).

Earlier in the year (Jan/Feb) we were using RDCatch to download the file
with a predictable name from the RadioContent site. I think sometime
in March or April the site changed and our RDCatch download stopped working
correctly.
