Have you tried the Talkr, the free podcast for your blog? I hope you did, it is interesting and very easy to use. However, the Talkr does not has audio links embed intruction for WordPress users.

No worry, I show you(Surfnux) how to embed Talkr audio links into your WordPress template.

I assume you already registered Talkr free membership, submited your blog RSS feed and got the audio link code like following:

Take note on the "[template variable for permalink]", we will change it later.

Now we need to edit your WordPress template to include the audio link code.

1. Open "index.php" for edit.
2. Look for "the_content" line like following:
   PLAIN TEXT
   PHP:

   1. <?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?>

3. Add the following code under the line:
   PLAIN TEXT
   HTML:

   1. <img style="border:none;" src='http://www.talkr.com/images/speaker_20.gif' alt='Listen to this article' border='0' />
   2. <a href='http://www.talkr.com/app/fetch.app?feed_id=1234&perma_link=<?php the_permalink(); ?>'>
   3.     Listen to this article
   4. </a>
   Note: I changed "[template variable for permalink]" to "<?php the_permalink(); ?>".
4. You should get something like this after editing:
   PLAIN TEXT
   HTML:

   1. <?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?>
   2. <img style="border:none;" src='http://www.talkr.com/images/speaker_20.gif' alt='Listen to this article' border='0' />
   3. <a href='http://www.talkr.com/app/fetch.app?feed_id=1234&perma_link=<?php the_permalink(); ?>'>
   4.     Listen to this article
   5. </a>

5. Save the "index.php" file and upload back to your WordPress template directory.
6. You may also want to edit the same to "single.php", "search.php", and "archive.php".
7. After you have done, the Talkr audio link should appear at end of each entry.

Thought:
It is not as hard as you thought to embed the podcast audio link into WordPress template. The "the_permalink();" is a WordPress tag to disply entry's permalink.

By the way, if you are looking for a Podcast receiver, get iPodder(free, as usual).
