At some point in time those two URLs were stored as two distinct podcasts
in the gpodder.net database. Such duplications are currently detected
manually, and are then merged. One of the URLs is picked as the canonical
one, and will then be returned by the API.
As Thomas already pointed out, this can only be retrieved through the API
calls you mentioned.
