The URL for your top episode's media file is http://bit.ly/1M9hv9p which redirects to an Archive.org URL. This won't work because there is no extension to the URL to tell iTunes that it's a media file. You must provide a direct URL to the media file: at present this begins with https and this isn't a good idea, you should use http (you can simply substitute this, it will still work).


I would also advise not submitting the bit.ly URL for the feed. This leads to a Dropbox URL which again begins with https and this is inadvisable. Dropbox also isn't a particularly good place to host podcast files, though you may get away with the feed.
