The problem was the use of "media:content": <media:content url="http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/worldservice/digitalp/digitalp_20100202-1032b.mp3" fileSize="13069976" type="audio/mpeg" medium="audio" expression="full" duration="1626"/> Fixed. commit d7f9cd26c383dfabd524c4b4610b0d880c7a75de Author: Bastien Nocera <hadess@hadess.net> Date: Mon Feb 8 18:23:49 2010 +0000 Fix parsing of Guardian Podcasts As available from: http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/series/media-talk-usa/rss
