In reply to Chris Aldrich.

Chris, thanks for chiming back! The issue is the theme I use requires a title but I think I have it sorted now. I found Post Kinds maps to WP's Post Formats so I was able to use this code to strip the titles from the RSS feed and it seems to be working so far:

/// Remove titles from asides/images/links in RSS feed
//
function remove_status_title_rss ($title) {
$post_format=get_post_format();
if ($post_format == "image" || $post_format == "link" || $post_format == "aside" || $post_format == "status") {
$title="";
}
return $title;
}
add_filter( 'the_title_rss', 'remove_status_title_rss');
