Overly HTML encoded display results in broken content?

REPORT A BUG/PROBLEM

Hi, I want to notify you of a bug/problem that is happening on the Planet.

I am using:
O.S: n/a
Browser: n/a
Platform: (mobile, tablet, desktop) web

Problem

On planetpython.org the HTML display for RSS feeds that embed their HTML in CDATA (seems correct to avoid breaking the RSS XML parsing), seems to result in HTML encoded presentation on the website.

Details

Here's an example from https://talkpython.fm/rss

Thanks.

Thanks for this. Are you in a position to propose a patch? Or at least to do some initial diagnosis?

I am super busy right now. I'm pretty sure it's because my XML feed wraps the embedded HTML in CDATA blocks (as it should). Here's an example:

<description><![CDATA[Welcome to a very special episode. ...
<br/>
...
<div>...</div>]]></description>

My understanding is this is correct and necessary. But it seems as it is pulled out you are preserving this XML encoding rather than displaying it as "raw" HTML in the web app & feed.
