I can't believe they force you to use WAV format. That's only for very short webcasts -- although they will sound terrific. Did you create a real sound file? Audacity will not Save a sound file. To get a real, stand-alone file you have to File > Export. Also, for longer podcasts, you should use MP3 for your posting. Audacity will not create an MP3 without addition software.

Install the lame software.
