Hi all,
So I've taken this working addon (just checked) and am trying to get it to pull various field from the following website:
thisiscriminal.com to make a podcast addon.
This seems to be the simplest addon I can find for audio and as I expected, I'm not skilled enough to get it to work.
The kodi log is showing the following errors:

The code I'm using is as follows - any thoughts please?
