This usually happens if the creators of the feed encode the symbols twice. Try downloading the feed file and viewing it in a text editor.

Oh, I see. The broken one is the one inside an <item>. Because itunes:author is only specified for the whole channel and not for individual items, AntennaPod always uses the last itunes:author tag that it finds, regardless where it is.
