yt-cast

Overcast is a superb podcast player for iOS. It cleverly reduces silences and delivers distortion-free playback at faster than normal speeds. Overcast also allows paid subscribers to upload audio files through a web interface. yt-cast takes a YouTube URL, extracts the audio, and uploads it to your personal Overcast account. It's perfect for taking an interview, lecture, or other long-form video and turning it into a "podcast".
