<p>An interview with two passionate RFC 5005 fans on how to handle big Atom feeds</p>

<p>This conversation took almost an hour, so I split it into two shows:</p>

<ul>
  <li>Part 1 talks mostly about the RFC itself, what it means and why. <a href="https://hackerpublicradio.org/eps.php?id=3082">HPR 3082</a></li>
  <li>Part 2 goes into personal experiences with the RFC and with syndication in general, in particular in the context of web comics.</li>
</ul>

<p>This is part 2.</p>

<p>In this show I’m talking to:</p>

  <li>Back in 2002, Aaron Swartz published his joke MIME-header-based <em>RSS 3</em>:<br />

The cultural context at the time and the rivalry between RSS 0.91+, RSS 1.0, RSS 2.0 and Atom deserves a show of its own.</li>
</ul>
