You have to setup your stats at your website.

I notice you are rolling your own RSS feed.  You are using wordpress, you should use powerpress.  That way the stats can be setup automatically in the settings. 

You have to manually put the redirect URL in front of your media files for each link.   Login to blubrry.com and go to Manage Account  and select your show in the green pulldown on the left top of the page.  Then click on Measure and media statistics.  in there on the right side is a link called "Getting Started".  This will give you your redirect URL.  You need to put that URL in front of any link to your mp3 file. 

Start with an existing media link

http://www.website.com/path/to/media.mp3

Remove the http:// at the beginning of the link

www.website.com/pathto/media.mp3/

Place your Media Redirect URL in front of the modified link

http://media.blubrry.com/brightideas/www.website.com/path/to/media.mp3

Note: There should not be any double slashes '//' between words in the final URL value except for the double slashes found at the beginning of the string in the protocol (http://) . There should only be one protocol (http://) at the beginning of the value. Additional http:// within the string will cause problems for Microsoft based clients.
