    param($dlPath)
    $url = "http://powerscripting.net/feed";
    $wc= new-object net.webclient;
    $xml = [xml]$wc.DownloadString($url);

    $xml.rss.channel.item | foreach {
        $fname = [system.IO.path]::GetFileName($_.enclosure.url);
        $podcast = read-host "Download $fname [Yes] default, [N] No"
        if($podcast -ne "n" -and $fname -ne ""){
            $wc.DownloadFile($_.enclosure.url,$fname);
        }   
    }
}
