... Well, I don't have a clue about those "^M"s 
at the end of the lines of your Windows log, 
but AFA your original issue is concerned, 
I really should've checked with the issue tracker 
prior to posting - here is the whole story 
from the one and only expert: 

https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/issues/271

So the reasons for this bug are two: 
1. BBC switching their .rss feeds to HTTPS
(but I have checked that plain HTTP - which does not 
redirect to HTTPS - still works, 
e.g. http://podcasts.files.bbci.co.uk/p02nrtyg.rss )
2. LWP::Protocol::https v6.06 perl module 
included in the miniPerl 5.24.0.1 package 
distributed with the latest 2.95.1 windows installer 
has a broken dependency.

The reason my "podcast.cache" refresh is 
succeeding (as posted earlier in the thread) 
is because my custom installation is using the 
previous  miniPerl 5.18.2.2 package (included 
in 2.94.0 windows installer) which contains 
LWP::Protocol::https v6.04 and whose dependency 
is not broken! 
Once I upgraded from miniPerl 5.18.2.2 => 5.24.0.1
I, too, became aware of the issue.

First suggested fix (set HTTPS_CA_FILE envvar) 
works OK on my x86 Vista OS.
Podcast support has been deprecated in GiP 2.95, 
but do check #271 for any other future solution...

(Perhaps the HTTPS_CA_FILE 
envvar could be edited-in 
the get_iplayer.cmd file, 
something like: 
set HTTPS_CA_FILE="%GIP_INST%\perl\lib\Mozillla\CA\cacert.pem"
but, as proven, little do I know :-( )

Happy Sunday all,
