Is a BASH shell possible on the N800, or not?

Why? Because I must have a non-sync based podcast solution on my device. It was 2/3 of why I bought it. GPodder simply can't handle 26 feeds successfully (unless i'm missing something - it gets very slow and unusable). Bashpodder is beautifully simple, but I can't find any way to use it with the default shell.

It seems on the N770 I wouldn't have any trouble using Bash + Bashpodder, so it seems odd that I can't do it on the N800. Feels wrong. When something feels wrong, it probably is, so i'll happily be corrected. Please, correct me.
Believe it or not, I have an n800 and have never tried to run bashpodder on it. I just set my destination directory to the n800 from my pc and plug the n800 in as a usb device.
At any rate, I am quite interested to hear how you make out with this. Please don't hesitate to let me know. You can reach me by email at the email address listed in the header of bashpodder (Yes, I am *that* Linc).
By the way, bashpodder's website has been moved recently to http://lincgeek.org/bashpodder
