youtube-dl is still actively maintained, but the last stable release was 
in 2021 and they only have nightly releases now:
https://github.com/ytdl-org/ytdl-nightly/releases/

Seems like they have not had a stable release in a while: 
https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/31585

For now, you can replace the youtube-dl dependency in gpodder with 
yt-dlp using --with-input:

guix install gpodder --with-input=youtube-dl=yt-dlp

However, as a distro we should decide if we:
1. follow suit with other distros and mark the yt-dlp package as a 
replacement for youtube-dl, or
2. update the youtube-dl package to track the nightly releases, which 
updates about once a week.
