Soundcloud auto starts from a feed at the atlantic

Soundcloud autostarts every time I open Alexis Madrigal’s feed from the Atlantic. The post is several items down in the feed, so it’s not even the active story when the soundcloud file begins playing. The file/sound is a recording of an old school modem.

Yeah, it’s because they are embedding it that way. If they had used proper audio media enclosures in the RSS feed like most podcast feeds, it would not only not auto-start, but it would use NewsBlur’s fancy audio player.
