I've turned today's accepted answer into a unit test just to explore this slightly:

    [TestMethod]
    public void ShouldCombineRssFeeds()
    {
        //reference: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/79197/combining-two-syndicationfeeds

        SyndicationFeed feed;
        SyndicationFeed feed2;

        var feedUri = new Uri("http://stackoverflow.com/feeds/tag/silverlight");
        using(var reader = XmlReader.Create(feedUri.AbsoluteUri))
        {
            feed = SyndicationFeed.Load(reader);
        }

        Assert.IsTrue(feed.Items.Count() > 0, "The expected feed items are not here.");

        var feed2Uri = new Uri("http://stackoverflow.com/feeds/tag/wpf");
        using(var reader2 = XmlReader.Create(feed2Uri.AbsoluteUri))
        {
            feed2 = SyndicationFeed.Load(reader2);
        }

        Assert.IsTrue(feed2.Items.Count() > 0, "The expected feed items are not here.");

        var feedsCombined = new SyndicationFeed(feed.Items.Union(feed2.Items));

        Assert.IsTrue(
            feedsCombined.Items.Count() == feed.Items.Count() + feed2.Items.Count(),
            "The expected number of combined feed items are not here.");

        var builder = new StringBuilder();
        using(var writer = XmlWriter.Create(builder))
        {
            feedsCombined.SaveAsRss20(writer);
            writer.Flush();
            writer.Close();
        }

        var xmlString = builder.ToString();

        Assert.IsTrue(new Func(
            () =>
            {
                var test = false;

                var xDoc = XDocument.Parse(xmlString);
                var count = xDoc.Root.Element("channel").Elements("item").Count();
                test = (count == feedsCombined.Items.Count());

                return test;
            }
        ).Invoke(), "The expected number of RSS items are not here.");
    }
