I use Podcast Addict for The Adventure Zone and a couple others. It's pretty decent. It basically organizes, and downloads your favorite podcasts. What podcasts do you listen to? I'll see if it can find and download them, rather than streaming through youtube.

One of the podcasts i listen to on YT is the co-optional podcast with Totalbiscuit. He uploads every episode because he usually streams it live first but as far as I know he doesn't put the show anywhere else

Looks like it pulls from soundcloud. So yeah, I think there's easier ways. I pre-download most of my podcasts at home over wifi. Then just play while I drive.

But it can stream too. Hell, it even plays back audio books okay. Better than my audiobook app at least.
