InvalidFormatException is thrown when a malformed link is present in an RSS feed

[Kolomona]

When running the test getPodcastsByMedium_shouldReturnMatchedPodcast()

I'm getting the following error. I believe this is due to no "http://" or "https://" in the beginning of the link "www.aikihomestead.ca"

The offending podcast is at https://podcastindex.org/podcast/6786261

com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.InvalidFormatException: Cannot deserialize value of type java.net.URL from String "www.aikihomestead.ca": not a valid textual representation, problem: no protocol: www.aikihomestead.ca

I'll try to track down a solution but I'm not very familiar with com.fasterxml.jackson

There should be a way to assume a protocol such as http or https.

Hello @Kolomona, I've changed URL data type to string because of we don't have to deal with podcastindex API response consistency so we'll never take a exception about malformed link. And I've added some deserialization settings in project. I don't expect any unknown field exception.
