Radiolab not working

Podtrapper is not downloading radiolab audio episodes for me. It is only downloading the videos. I have it set to download "Audio" only.

Upon closer inspection, It looks like PT is trying to grab an image file for each episode instead of the actual audio file. The undownloaded episodes all have .jpg extensions.

I recently developed the same problem. WNYC's radiolab will not download. I have mine set for Audio, Visual , and other files. Podcast states, "Waiting to Download" but will not download when I hit update. Status footer says, "updating WNTC's Radiolab." But it doesn't update.


HTC incredible
PT version 3.0.21

I'm having the same problem. PodTrapper is trying to download a .jpg file instead of the actual episode. I tried selecting the option to only download Audio,Video but that didn't seem to fix it.

I have the same issue as well. I've deleted the podcast and even uninstalled the app, but still have the problem. It wants to download a ~5KB jpg file. I've added the feed to another RSS reader, and it downloads the mp3 file fine. I would love to hear of a fix.

Same here- mine is set to download audio only. Yet it keeps trying to download a jpg. This has never happened with other podcasts. Any idea how to fix this?
EDIT: Using PT 3.0.20

If enough people identify the same problem, will it eventually get fixed? It has been many months already!

I made feedburner give me a feed that doesn't have the error in it. Try this feed everyone. http://feeds.feedburner.com/wnyc/oYMG
Radiolab now works fine. I don't know if this will continue to work correctly, bu hopefully it will.

Your feed is working for me too. Thanks for your post, I've got a lot of Radiolabs to catch up on now!

Maybe one day the developer of my most used app will stop being MIA and log into this forum to help us out.
