I used to subscribe to this podcast with bashpodder. It handled it ok. So maybe
borrowing some code from Linc might help. Just a thought.

Created an attachment (id=3229) [details]
added podcast

This works for me on gPodder 2.10-2.

Please make sure that you have an internet connection established before adding
the podcast, as gPodder right now does not request the connection from the
system.

Also, if it still does not work, please try the follwing:

1. Open "X Terminal"
2. Start gPodder using: "gpodder --verbose"
3. Try to reproduce the problem
4. Post the output of gPodder in X Terminal here

Thanks Thomas.

Everytime I tried to add it, I had to copy and paste it or type it in.
Running from CLI saw a bunch of "gpodder instance already running messages"
So I decided to give the phone a reboot as I hadn't since installed 2.10.

Then adding a new podcast still had the URL there. I hit add and away we go.

Very weird. A Windows fix...just reboot and try again.

Thanks for your time Thomas.

Keep up the good work.
