Pure luck I happened to be watching that mail account today...

You do have quite a few options with free file hosting (with some
limits on file size, some bandwidth restrictions).
Also, you might not be able use them as 'direct' links on your blog...

I wonder why Google allow you to upload video (YouTube ??), but not
Audio (since Podcasting has been around a lot longer than videos ??)

You could try searching on Google for "Free Podcast Hosting" and have
a look through some of them. There are plenty that allow you to
upload your files with no restrictions if you own the Copyright.
Hopefully, one or more of them will even provide you with a snippet of
code (much like YouTube) that you can include in your Blogger Post...

Failing that, I shall email you off-list with another free option that
you can try as a last resort

Funnily enough, I'm due major back surgery in a few days, but this one
will be the last one (so they say)... I'll have more than my fingers
crossed...
