Ok sure here is my entire podcast.php code. Thanks for your help!

Unfortunately this podcast has still not been indexed by iTunes and does not appear on their store. We have been in contact with iTunes to ask what the problem is and it seems that there are two problems… the first one was an easy fix, the second I don’t know how to fix…

1. The podcast feed link and audio file names have spaces in them (fixed)
2. The iTunes response tells me that the direct link to the audio file does not work. It’s true! I pulled the direct link from the podcast feed to one of the audio files and it takes me to the websites audio blog page, not directly to the audio file. Here’s an example: http://www.followchurch.com.au.....anuary.mp3 if you go here you don’t go directly to the audio file. The audio file link is actually here: http://www.followchurch.com.au.....anuary.mp3 so why is Sermon browser generating a feed that includes a link to a page on the website rather than linking to the file?

I went searching in the plugin options and I can see these settings, not sure if I need to change something here?
Upload folder: wp-content/uploads/sermons/
http://www.followchurch.com.au.....s/?podcast
Private podcast feed: http://www.followchurch.com.au.....s/?podcast
MP3 shortcode: Default:

Any help would be appreciated, I’m getting pretty desperate to find a fix for this. Thanks.
