How to add social media podcast to existing PowerShell Script to display in HTML for email signature

I've attached the full PowerShell script into a word document. Hopefully this is easily legible in this format. I've also highlighted the line that I am currently working on and trying to include in an email signature the Apple Podcast logo with a clickable link to it.

I do have the below path on my computer.
