It could be that when you start gPodder (via some menu icon I assume?)
that it won't read your ~/.bashrc. The easiest way would be to just
create a symlink (using ln -s /path/to/your/real/directory/ ~/gPodder)
and be done with it. If you want to avoid having a "gPodder" symlink
in your $HOME, make sure that the environment variable is available to
your whole session (by putting it into /etc/environment or
/etc/profile I assume?).
HTH :)
