Shortening RSS Description from Magento Template Blog (PHP) for Mailchimp

Multi tool use
I am using Magento 1.9.2.4 Community Edition with a custom template that included Blog Functionality.
My "description" within my RSS feed is very long and shows the full post, I was wondering how I could reduce the length of it, my goal is to show only a shortened excerpt of it for my MailChimp email template specifically.
I was able to track down the Rss.php that creates the RSS feed here using the following PHP code:
$data = array(
'title' => $post->getTitle(),
'link' => $this->getUrl($route . "/" . $post->getIdentifier()),
'description' => $processor->filter($post->getPostContent()),
'lastUpdate' => strtotime($post->getCreatedTime()),
);
I do not want the full blog post to show in the RSS Description feed, just a summary cut off at a certain amount of characters.
