Looks like the wrong version of java?
$ java -version
java version "1.4.2"

But I just installed v1.5? So I tried:
$ /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.06/jre/bin/java -version
java version "1.5.0_06"

Then I tried:
$ /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.06/jre/bin/java ~/jPodder-1.1/bin/jpodder
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: 
/home/davem/jPodder-1/1/bin/jpodder

It looks like I may have two versions installed but I do not see the 1.4 
version in synaptic. Maybe gij? So I removed gij.

Looks better:
$ java -version
java version "1.5.0_06"

Success:
$ ./jPodder-1.1/bin/jpodder
