RSS feed reader from the terminal in Linux

Is there a way by which I can read RSS feeds from the terminal itself ? Something that would display the titles and a link to follow. Or maybe a software which works from within the terminal.

A quick look at Synaptic shows a few candidates in the repositories:

1Newsbeuter seems not user-friendly to config the first time. I get a better impression with canto. – Jaime M. – 2017-09-07T10:35:24.977

I love Newsbeuter. It's in most package repositories, has great documentation and it fits your needs. Zed Shaw calls it "the mutt of feed readers"

Newsbeuter is abandoned now, but newsboat has taken its place: https://newsboat.org/

i like it, but it seems not maintained. – qrtLs – 2019-08-19T17:03:40.433

You might also want to check out Snownews. Another alternative is Raggle (has its own .org site which seems pretty unmaintained, but works fine). Olive on my Ubuntu 10.04 required 10.3MB of dependencies!
