Looks like the latest episode doesn't have the "play audio" option in several of my podcast apps (for the RSS feed) :(
If you’re using the official Smashing Security RSS feed you shouldn’t have a problem.

Ah hah perfect, thank you! Looks like my link was /feed instead of /rss – replacing it got it to work perfectly!!
