The feed at
http://www.whiterosesociety.org/content/hartmann/hartmann.xml
requires username/password authentication. Juice V2.2
does not seem to be able to fetch from it.

    Please bump the priority on this one. I'm hitting the same
    problem, at the same feed. That feed is one of my highest
    priorities, so I'm going to have to switch to a different
    podcast receiver until this problem is fixed. The RSS
    Aggregator at http://www.seeita.com/RSSA does handle the
    whiterosesociety feed successfully, so I'm using it for now.

    There is a work-around for this particular problem. The XML
    describing this feed uses mixed-case in the White Rose
    Society URL. DNS names are case insensitive. However, by
    default when authentication information is set in Juice, the
    name is all lower case. If you take that default, Juice
    apparently doesn't see the domain name as matching (Juice
    should do a case-insensitive match). If you set it to the
    same case as the feed URL, it matches, and works. I've been
    using Juice to fetch an authenticated feed from White Rose
    Society for over two months using this trick.
