Feature Request: Podcasts: "This American Life" Image Parsing #10

For some reason the image parser used for "This American Life" (http://feeds.thisamericanlife.org/talpodcast) pulls the "email this" icon. Looking at the source XML, it appears the plugin logic merely grabs the first image listed. In the case of this particular podcast, the result looks like this:
badicon

What I'd like to request is a method for handling odd XMLs like this with, perhaps, some kind of rules engine. For example, Feedly is able to pull the archived episodes not directly referenced in the XML, as well as each episode 'icon':

feedlyicon

If it helps at all, I've found a bit of the method to the madness. For example, the URL for the MP3 given via the XML file for Episode #527 is:

http:// feeds.thisamericanlife.org/~r/talpodcast/~5/NoHdV_K8jdY/527.mp3
There will always be a corresponding image found at the following URL:
http:// thislife-files.s3.amazonaws.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/large_square/episodes/527_lg.jpg
