I don't know about Myth integration, but gpodder [0] has a
command-line mode so that you can use it from cron. It also has
support for syncing subscriptions to a web service so that you can use
multiple instances.

If you set up a cron job for gpodder downloads and have them download
to a directory that MythMusic indexes it should work.

HTH,
