1) add an mp3 file via the podPress box below the WP post editor to a post an podPress is going to add an flash player to this post which plays this podcast episode.
By default the option “Use HTML5 tags:” on the player settings page of podPress is active. If you want to show a flash player in all the browsers (with a flash plugin) then un-check this box. But note that flash is not available on all computers and device (e.g. iPhone, iPad …)
2) Such a feature is not part of podPress and I can not give you a list with easy steps. It would take some programming effort to create such a function. It is possible. But it would probably be a very long list of steps.
For someone who would program this it would be interesting know what the popup player should play the last episode or should it could contain a player with a playlist of all episodes incl. the last one.
podPress produces a XSPF playlist and delivers an XSPF player (a Flash player).
With these to things you could write another WP plugin which uses these components. Such plugin would add some Javascript code to your blog which opens a popup window. Further you would need a something(HTML file, PHP file or more Javascript) which defines the content of this popup window. The one who programs this plugin could look into the podpress_functions.php (line 1830 …) or on this page http://lacymorrow.com/projects/jukebox/xspfdoc.html to get an idea on how-to embed the XSPF player. The URL of the playlist would be http://www.example.com/?feed=playlist.xspf
That is of course not the only way one could do this.
However it is a lot of work and I’m not going to implement such a functionality into podPress nor write a different add-on plugin.
This task is maybe something for one of the WordPress job exchange platforms.
