I cannot figure out hot to select a podcast #481

The only option available is to select from the top 100 Apple podcasts. Searching causes Vocal to hang and I have to kill it. If I select "add a podcast" and give it an RSS URL, it hangs and I have to kill it. I am certain the problem is mostly I don't know how to specify things in a way that Vocal understands, but it should not hang and there needs to be some better documentation.

FYI, to the "Add a new podcast feed to the library" window, I type this in and it hangs:

Hello @brkorb,

Thanks so much for your report! I'm sorry to hear about the issues you experienced here, I think you were running into some really significant bugs.

Vocal has been re-written from the ground up, and should no longer suffer these issues. Please test everything out once the new version is released in a few weeks, and let me know if you're able to add podcasts and build your library. Thank you!
