Sorry. Here's the code for the feed. It pulls the most recent 5
entries from the database (ignoring future ones that haven't gone live
yet) and formats it. It's based on the code I use to update my Manic
Mondays podcast (http://www.suddendeath.org/cast/feed.xml) which I've
never had a problem with. But those always point directly to the MP3
file.
