I've now filed a bug report in Ubuntu, too:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/179208
The issues in upstream's bug tracker are here:
http://code.google.com/p/feedparser/issues/detail?id=80
http://code.google.com/p/feedparser/issues/detail?id=28
I also went so far as to "patch" the feedparser module inside gPodder's
feed loading code, which is now available in gPodder's SVN repository.
This should fix up the feedparser module for feeds like
democracynow.org. You can try out the SVN version by following the
instructions found on: http://gpodderwiki.jottit.com/running-from-svn
Please try it out and tell me if this fixes the problem for you.
Thanks,
Thomas
