I didn't see an rss for it so I just parsed the links.
I'm not certain if the link will list the feeds each time for I have no known way of testing that. But the following code will use the link provided by the original poster and then parse the links on that page and look for Alison Berkley in the link text. If it finds it then that link will be used and converted in the print_url to the pretty print version...
