The Australian Broadcasting Commission Radio National podcasts also use
ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1) encoding, so hpodder is unable to handle their
podcasts (http://www.abc.net.au/rn/podcast/feeds/)

So ISO-8859-1 encoded podcast XML that contains characters with the 8-th
bit set will fail, because the code is attempting decode them as UTF8,
rather than using the ISO-8859-1 encoding. This trips an assertion and
the podcast downloads fail.
