Podcast crash

When I try to add this podcast to VLC, it immediately crashes and quits.

Works for me with the first lik from the page:
http://playlist.citr.ca/podcasting/audi ... -56-23.mp3

You must use the MP3 links because VLC won't be able to parse the whole feeds page.

Lotesdelere, I don't think you understand what a podcast is. All you did was stream an mp3.

Maybe I used the wrong link. The URL for the XML file is.
http://playlist.citr.ca/podcasting/xml/ ... browns.xml
Click the "+" sign next to "Podcasts" in VLC and enter it in. But that doesn't work either. Here is the debug log.
Can anyone else please confirm?

Looks like others are having the same issue
https://www.reddit.com/r/VLC/comments/3 ... _podcasts/
(My VLC also does not report the error correctly.)

And it sounds like the developers don't have all the bugs worked out
