Hello Jason Tucker,
Thank you very much for this code. I really find it very useful.
The only problem I am facing is that I don't know how to get the itunes image url from the rss feed.
For example, consider the following rss feed item:

<itunes:image href="https://the-link-to-image.jpg"/>

I have tried the following code:

             $imageurl      = $itunes->image;

but it didn't work. I also tried the following:

            $imageurl       = $itunes->image['href'];

it did not also work for me.

Could you please help me with the right code to get the itunes:image url from the rss feed.

Thanks alot.
