App crashes from program interactions

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem? (synthesized from several user comments)
1. Go to a program (such as Radiolab specifically)
2. Attempting to play a segment or all segments
3. Crash

Here is a crashlog:

java.lang.NullPointerException

Any thoughts on this?

I cannot repro this, using the provided steps, in the current build on Android 
OS 2.3.4 on Nexus One. Also, the line number given in the first stack trace 
doesn't match the latest code.

The first error suggests that there is no URL at all for the stream which 
implies to me that there was something wrong with the feed?

I'm not sure where the second error could have caused a problem unless the 
broadcast receiver was called *after* the activity finished. Likely that's a 
carry-on error because of the first error killing the app.

Can't duplicate. Will continue to monitor publisher tools for new crashes.
