I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong, but this type of error is new to me (been using WordPress for 7 years). Please forgive me if I’ve missed the answer somewhere else.
Visiting Juxtapunk.com/feed reveals the following error:

error on line 32 at column 31: Input is not proper UTF-8, indicate encoding !

Thanks for the support!
I usually check my feeds here:
http://feedvalidator.org/
https://validator.w3.org/feed/
try retyping the characters indicated in case they have some bizarre encoding embedded into the doc — edit using the text editor, not visual editor for that posts.
Thanks, that helped pinpoint the problem … still not clear what it was, but deleting the text cleared it up.
I had that happen couple of times from copy/pasting from MS Word, from something I’d pasted from a website … somehow some bizarre encoded character or space got munched and then when I pasted into the “visual editor” that encoding stuck, and broke our RSS feed same way. Anyway— the feed validator great resource for that kind of bizarre gremlin 🙂
