I'll be on vacation posting over the next week and a half or so, where I've scheduled some quotes and book excerpts, but probably won't post much else, if anything.

On another note, I've been impressed by the Overcast app for listening to podcasts, using its Smart Speed and Voice Boost tools. I realized that it would be great to convert a lot of YouTube videos to MP3 and put them into a podcast on the app, both so that I could use the app features, and so that I could easily download and delete those audio files straight onto my phone more easily, as well as make it easy to save my spot for long recordings that I don't listen to in a single sitting. So if anyone has any experience with setting up a podcast, I'd love to get some tips on how to make this as easy as possible. The goal is to essentially put audio files like THESE into podcast form. Thanks.
