YIL - Where does Apple keep its podcasts on macOS ?

I wanted to grab a copy of a bunch of podcasts that I'd downloaded via the Apple Podcasts app ( I usually listen to them on my iPhone, but they're also replicated on my MacBook ).

A quick Google led me here: -

/Users/hayd/Library/Group Containers/243LU875E5.groups.com.apple.podcasts/Library/Cache

which is, I think you'll agree, a memorable file path ... 😁

Also, who doesn't love spaces in paths ? Microsoft Windows and C:\Program Files, I'm looking at you.

Anyway, having added double quotes to the path to protect myself ...

cd "/Users/hayd/Library/Group Containers/243LU875E5.groups.com.apple.podcasts/Library/Cache"

ls -al

Visual Studio Code - Wow 🙀

Why did I not know that I can merely hit [cmd] [p]  to bring up a search box allowing me to search my project e.g. a repo cloned from GitHub...
