Hiya people been working on a new project.You guessed right a RSS reader for podcasts....I have been able to reach and read text from a sample code I found.But because I am quite a noob I couldn't figured it out how to work it for podcasts...
Here is the code: (Note that I'm currently using .net 2005 and the code you are seeing is the form code...thanks in advance)

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.IO;
using System.Xml;

namespace RSS_Reader
{
    public partial class frmMain : Form
    {
        XmlTextReader rssReader;
        XmlDocument rssDoc;
        XmlNode nodeRss;
        XmlNode nodeChannel;
        XmlNode nodeItem;
        ListViewItem rowNews;
        public frmMain()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void btnRead_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            lstNews.Items.Clear();
            this.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor;
          
            rssReader = new XmlTextReader(txtUrl.Text);
            rssDoc = new XmlDocument();
       
            rssDoc.Load(rssReader);
            
         
            for (int i = 0; i < rssDoc.ChildNodes.Count; i++)
            {
            
                if (rssDoc.ChildNodes[i].Name == "rss")
                {
                 
                    nodeRss = rssDoc.ChildNodes[i];
                }
            }

            for (int i = 0; i < nodeRss.ChildNodes.Count; i++)
            {
               
                if (nodeRss.ChildNodes[i].Name == "channel")
                {
                    
                    nodeChannel = nodeRss.ChildNodes[i];
                }
            }

           
            lblTitle.Text = "Title: " + nodeChannel["title"].InnerText;
            lblLanguage.Text = "Language: " + nodeChannel["language"].InnerText;
            lblLink.Text = "Link: " + nodeChannel["link"].InnerText;
            lblDescription.Text = "Description: " + nodeChannel["description"].InnerText;

          
            for (int i = 0; i < nodeChannel.ChildNodes.Count; i++)
            {
              
                if (nodeChannel.ChildNodes[i].Name == "item")
                {
                    nodeItem = nodeChannel.ChildNodes[i];
                    
      
                    rowNews = new ListViewItem();
                    rowNews.Text = nodeItem["title"].InnerText;
                    rowNews.SubItems.Add(nodeItem["link"].InnerText);
                    lstNews.Items.Add(rowNews);
                }
            }

            this.Cursor = Cursors.Default;
        }

        private void lstNews_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
          
            if (lstNews.SelectedItems.Count == 1)
            {
            
                for (int i = 0; i < nodeChannel.ChildNodes.Count; i++)
                {
                  
                    if (nodeChannel.ChildNodes[i].Name == "item")
                    {
              
                        nodeItem = nodeChannel.ChildNodes[i];
                     
                        if (nodeItem["title"].InnerText == lstNews.SelectedItems[0].Text)
                        {
                          
                            txtContent.Text = nodeItem["description"].InnerText;
                      
                            break;
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }

        private void lstNews_DoubleClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
      
            System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(lstNews.SelectedItems[0].SubItems[1].Text);   
        }
    }
}

program.cs part of the code

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace RSS_Reader
{
    static class Program
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// The main entry point for the application.
        /// </summary>
        [STAThread]
        static void Main()
        {
            Application.EnableVisualStyles();
            Application.Run(new frmMain());
        }
    }
