Escape Pod

Hello you clever people who write news recipes. I would like to be able to turn the "articles" at Escape Pod into an eBook for offline reading.

I created a custom recipe supplying only the RSS URL and it sort of worked -- in that it appeared to have retrieved the post from the "front page" of the blog, rather than from the actual article. I looked at the raw RSS/XML and the link in the RSS goes to the actual full-length article. But the ePub that was created looks like the front page of the blog where the blog entry/article has only a portion of the article and a "More ..." link at the bottom.

While I'm comfortable looking at RSS and ATOM feeds, I know nothing about how they are used by a recipe to create an eBook from a site.

So, if someone is willing to help ...

RSS feed is at http://feeds.escapeartists.net/EscapePod
... which takes you to http://escapepod.org/feed/

Main page of Escape Pod can be found at http://escapepod.org/


Thanks in advance!


Update: I should point out that I'm only interested in retrieving the text, not the audio/media.
