# A sequence of dicts that describe feeds. The following keys should be present in each dict:
#   name: an identifier for the feed, displayed when the bot speaks an entry
#   url: rss/atom feed URL
#   headline (optional): a function that transforms a feed entry into text that the bot will speak.
#                        can be 'headline_default', 'headline_summary' or 'headline_title'.
