The a) does not work, since the feed should'nt be public... one should normaly
register and log in to the web site and watch the videos from there. Somebody
as found the trick, but it's better not to tell them ;)
The b) is a very good idea, I will try it.

I think you would have to mess with feedparser. In short: It's not a
valid feed. Possible solutions:
a) Write to them they should fix their INVALID, BUGGY RSS feed
b) Write an XSLT transformation (or a Python script that modifies the
XML document using DOM or something) that you put on your server that
corrects the buggy RSS feed and outputs a valid podcast RSS feed,
and subscribe to that URL
For "b)", it would be nice if you could send in the resulting script or
xslt file, because I think many people could profit from such a script
that they can customize on their server and make buggy feeds working.
That said, podcast authors should really fix their RSS feeds. After all,
that's why we have standards (and why it's so easy for gPodder to
subscribe to feeds from so many different sites and authors).
