RSS 2.0 feeds
RSS 2.0 (Really Simple Syndication) feeds are XML
(eXtensible Markup Language) structured documents which provide web content with
associated links and metdata. RSS 2.0 feeds are normally used to distribute
dynamic information which changes or increments on an ongoing basis. The normal
way to access an RSS 2.0 feed is to use a feed reader / aggregator. The feed
reader software queries your pre-selected RSS 2.0 feeds on a regular basis and
notifies you of new entries, usually by some visual or audible cue. In this way
users, like you, can get immediate access to updated information on topics
covered by RSS 2.0 feeds.
The following RSS 2.0 feeds are provided by Consult

Some web browsers include built in feed reader
capabilities. Should your browser not support RSS 2.0 feeds, or you simply wish
to use a separate feed reader we would suggest any one of the following:

include links to downloadable media files. In the case of Consult Hyperion's
podcasts the media files linked to are audio files containing recorded
interviews.
Podcasts can be aggregated using a normal RSS feed
reader although this will not normally download the linked audio file until you
click on the link. An easy way to get podcasts, even if you don't have an iPod,
is iTunes for Windows and Macintosh. In iTunes, go to 'Advanced... >
Subscribe to Podcasts' and enter the URL from our podcast feed link above or
