 * `fetch_feed('https://www.cbc.ca/podcasting/includes/theshadows.xml');`
 * returns
 * `object(WP_Error)#900 (2) { ["errors"]=> array(1) { ["simplepie-error"]=> array(
   1) { [0]=> string(96) "WP HTTP Error: cURL error 28: Operation timed out after
   50002 milliseconds with 0 bytes received" } } ["error_data"]=> array(0) { } }`
 * I’ve increased the timeout and this still happens. I’ve also tried this on a 
   separate server and two localhost machines.
 * Anyone know how to fix this?

 * It’s possible that they are blocking their feed from being embedded, perhaps 
   they have restricted it to certain referrers.

 * I had the same thought, as I can get the contents with a normal curl and file_get_contents.
   Any idea how I could test this theory out?
