I decided to run my analyzer over the complete podcast text archive. This is from episode 001 to 371.

Get the files:

for i in {001..371}; do curl http://www.grc.com/sn/sn-${i}.txt >> sn.txt; echo $i; done

Clean the files up:

cat sn.txt | LC_CTYPE=C tr -cd '[:alnum:] [:space:]' > csn.txt

Analyze the text file:

cat csn.txt | LC_CTYPE=C tr [:space:] '\n' | grep -v "^\s*$" | sort | uniq -c | sort -bnr > count-combined.txt

Result:
