However!  You can also install a wordpress addon called 'HeadSpace' (which I highly recommend for changing page descriptions, titles, meta keywords, etc).  Over at: <a href="http://urbangiraffe.com/plugins/headspace2/" rel="nofollow">http://urbangiraffe.com/plugins/headspace2/</a> Under settings > Headspace click on Page Modules, then drag-and-drop the RSS Name module from disabled to advanced. Then click on Page Settings, then click on 'Global Settings', then click on 'advanced'.  I changed the name to ": Proven Solutions for Maximum Profits" and after the feed.php code is done with it, it looks like "The BizCoach: Proven Solutions for Maximum Profits".

I've never tried writing a WordPress plugin so I was fascinated to see that it looks like it's not that hard to do. Thanks for the comment. Ron

I did find a method of doing it that doesn't require hacking the feed.php file, so the change doesn't get blown away every upgrade. And it also handles other RSS data besides the title, like URL and description. You can find it all in this post http://www.reactuate.com/2009/05/14/custom-rss-feed-for-a-podcast-category/ I needed to do this exact thing and your blog post really helped.
