Curt,

True, but another option from what you describe is to have three RSS 
feeds... one for one topic, one for another, and a third that has both. 
That way the people can decide when they subscribe whether they want 
just one or the combination, and each person will only be accessing one 
feed.

But I guess what I'm trying to get a handle on is whether or not people 
can choose to have only one channel from within a feed. In all the 
podcasts and RSS feeds I subscribe to, so far as I can tell, there are 
no choices within a feed to select from.

So if one just selects an RSS feed, and it serves you all channels 
within that feed, what exactly does a "channel" do?
