Podcast parser is using item level <author> tag as the channel author #10

Closed amugofjava closed 3 years ago

The RSS parser is looking for either an <author> or <itunes:author> tag in the RSS feed as the channel author; however, <author> is an item level tag which can result in the wrong author begin returned for the podcast.

To reproduce this, load a podcast that uses item level authors such as 'What Is Money?':

Can reproduce, it always shows the most recent episode author.

Thanks @MaxHillebrand - should be an easy one to fix.

Have change to just use itunes author tag. Will review other author tags (like Google Play) at a later date.

Thank you @amugofjava, awesome to see underlying infrastructure improve! That's why free software wins. :black_heart:
