What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Search for WITF on the Locate Station menu
2.Tap either WITF Newsroom or Smart Talk

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Received the error message "There was an error retrieving the requested 
resource."

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

I'm using app version 2.0.1 on an HTC incredible with OS 2.2

This was reported by a listener with Android 2.2 on a DROID 2

Verified on app version 2.0.2 on Nexus One, Android 2.3.3

The problem is that WITF does not have valid podcast feed data. e.g. the 
Newsroom file, http://www.witf.org/podcasts/newsroom.xml produces an empty HTML 
page.

This needs to be fixed either at witf.org or by updating the NPR API to remove 
or replace the references returned.

I'm on maternity leave, so i can't fix this. But Si Sikes at NPR can reach out 
to witf in case we can't find the right feed on witf.org, and then Jeremy p. Or 
someone else at NPR can update in station connect (nprstations.org/connect).

Again indicative of the rag-tag nature of the npr streams ecosystem. The real 
solution to all of these problems imho is unifying a protocol technology and 
supported formats for station streams.
