This is not an atypical situation, sadly.

Edit the scripting code that drives the output.  It's not hard.  The feed is
generated from code at:
radio.weblog.writeRSSfile

Or use my RDF.root tool.

How their 'upstreaming' code goes about making it's decisions as to page
generation and uploading is a bit of a mystery.  Sometimes it behaves
predictably, other times not.  Nor does it log itself effectively to help you
understand why.

If it's too frustrating then consider use of something like Movabletype instead.
