Please help. Trying to parse XML file (itunes formatted podcast feed) for output on website
in Using jQuery

It seems like this is a do-able request from what I've seen, but i can't seem to make it work at all. I've followed the demo at think2loud and it seems that I don't know which variables to change in order to actually get the output I want.
I have their demo working on my test page but when I try to call my own podcast.xml file and pull out my own variables, I get nothing.
I'll be the first to admit that I am NOT familiar with jquery or javascript at all, so I'm just trying to figure it out as I go. What I'd like to be able to do with my particular podcast.xml file is to have it select only the ONE MOST RECENT podcast episode <item> and make the <title> a link, with the address being the <guid>. Then on the line below it, I'd like the <itunes:subtitle> as a description.
For example, I'd like an output along the lines of:
<div>
<a href="http://www.pathtothefileasguid.mp3">Welcome to the Jungle</a>
<br />
Whoa nelly, are you ready for the jungle?
</div>
The idea is that as the podcast gets updated, only the most recent episode shows up. Can some jquery wizard help me out? I'd really appreciate it; I'm clearly in over my head here!
