     @ken_fallon @jezra @hpr The feeds I'm trying to make the new static site generator create don't have comments! That doesn't make them "correct" or guarantee they can be parsed, of course.

     @jezra @hpr you and me both. I'll remove the comment anyway.

     Some poor suckers feed will suddenly start working and will download six months of shows

     @ken_fallon @hpr wow, what a splendid reminder of how much I dislike parsing XML.

     @ken_fallon @hpr I've looked at the code as well as the RSS source, and everything worked as expected when I removed the first <!-- comment --> from the RSS.
     
     Some damn lazy dev failed to properly ignore comments when parsing XML!

     @jezra @hpr @ken_fallon I have never written an RSS/Atom parser from the ground up. I used Perl's 'XML::Feed' module for my (now defunct) DIY podcatcher.

     @perloid @ken_fallon @hpr the problem in my code, was the expectation that the first child node of root was "channel". Even though the root node had 1 child, the first child node of root was the comment and not the 'channel' node.
