Como usar blocos de código de repetição dentro de .bashrc

Eu tenho 4 funções que são 100 linhas de código simples no meu .bashrc

Essas funções são idênticas, exceto pelo nome da função e as primeiras 3 linhas de código que são variáveis.

Como posso puxar as 97 linhas de código que são comuns para um bloco instanciado separado que eu chamo de cada uma das 4 funções?

Eu tentei fazer um bloco de função comum dessas 97 linhas comuns e chamá-lo de uma função muito pequena, mas não consegui fazer isso funcionar.

Aqui está a função com as 3 linhas únicas no topo e o código comum abaixo disso

function download_podcaster()
