What is a reading list?

A reading list is a list of feeds you can subscribe to.

The author of the list can add or remove feeds. When they do, people who subscribe to the list get the update, and are subscribed to the new feeds and unsubbed from the ones that leave.

It means that there can be lots of specialized software that reads feeds, and the user gets to broadcast their subscriptions to all of them.

It also means that influencers like Hickey can keep his community up to date on the podcasts he loves.
