Here's a little bash script to help you backup before testing:

config=~/.config/gpodder/gpodder.conf
downloads=$( grep download_dir $config | sed 's/download_dir \?= \?\(.*\)/\1/' )
config=$( dirname "$config" )
cp -rv "$config" "$config".bak
cp -rv "$downloads" "$downloads".bak

Thank you Justin and Thomas for your hard work,

nick
