So almost certainly the issue is that HaXml has updated and changed things around in a way that broke Hpodder; not surprising, since HaXml-1.19.2 is as recent as 14 January 2008, and Goerzen may simply not have updated and discovered the error before he released Hpodder in February.
I won't be updating it anytime soon, in fact. 1.19.2 is a development version, according to the author, so I will stick with 1.13.3 -- the stable, released version. Unfortunately, Hackage has no way to indicate stable vs. alpha, I guess. (That would make life easier here.) I suppose I ought to also post something on the hpodder wiki and update the Cabal build-deps so it gets the right HaXml version.
If the problem is too-recent HaXml, there's an obvious work around. You could install HaXml-1.13.3 http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/HaXml-1.13.3 and edit the hpodder.cabal file to replace the 'HaXml>=' bit with 'HaXml==1.13.3'. That works for me.
