I recently had to upgrade my skills on getting dates and time. If you are not a programmer you may think that dates and time should be real simple. If you do program you know that it's aggravating to manipulate the Date object.
Anyway, I wanted to make something better than "Hello Date". I remembered the Alex Jones show stores all of it's podcasts as dates so, I tied my date experiment into a little app that gets the most recent fully recorded AJ show. I know it's dumb and pointless but, I made it and it works.
If you actually want to use/try this, simply copy and paste the code into wordpad and save it as whateverYouWant.html...open it with your browser. I put ZERO effort into any kind of art or UI. When you open the page you get a message and a link...that's it. I didn't even change the background color.
EDIT: I do not support or care about Alex Jones. His podcast URLs and the Date modifications necessary to concoct them fell well within my experiments and were used for that reason.

function getURL(){
var wkd = weekdays[d.getDay()];
var lnk;
if((d.getHours() < 16) || (wkd == "Sat"))
{ if(wkd == "Sun")lnk = getDay(2);
else lnk = getDay(1);
document.getElementById("disp").innerHTML = "It's either Saturday or before 4pm central. A link to the last available show has been created for you.";
} else lnk = getDay(0);
document.getElementById("link").href = "http://rss.infowars.com./"+lnk+"_Alex.mp3";
document.getElementById("link").innerHTML = lnk+"_Alex.mp3";
}
function getDay(n)
{
y.setDate(d.getDate() - n);
var m = y.getMonth()+1;
var year = y.getFullYear();
var month = (m < 10)?"0"+m:""+m;
var day = y.getDate();
var weekday = weekdays[y.getDay()];
return (year+month+day)+"_"+weekday;
}
</script>

<body onload="getURL()">
<p id="disp">Right-click and select "save target as.." to download or left-click to open in your browser</p>
<a id="link"></a>
