I'm a fairly new Linux user and I'm want to write a shell script to look for the most recent video in a RSS feed, then download it using wget. How do I get the script to look for the most recent episode of a vidcast?

I'll just pop this over to the Unix forum.

I don't think the script should be looking for the most recent episode, I'd imagine the most recent episode will be available at a given location and all you have to do is get it. But I could be wrong.
