Probably less a bug than just non-ideal error handling.  Glad to help
however I can, but I don't know python (ok, I can probably read it if I try,
but I'm much more at home with C++, perl, C#, tcl, even Java or VB, in
approximately that order).

Also, in case it makes any difference, my download directory is mounted
thusly:

/dev/evms/podcasts on /home/ben/gpodder-downloads type xfs (rw,noatime)

But I would suspect the hoards of "GtkWarning: could not load image: Icon
'audio-x-generic' not present in theme" are at fault and gpodder can't cope
with having no icon.

Thanks,
