For years, I have used the command-line utility `yt-dlp` (previously `youtube-dl`) to download video from various sources (not just YouTube!) as audio streams [^dl] that I then upload using [Overcast][o]’s Uploads feature. This lets me listen to a lot of material otherwise only available in video form—and it turns out that many videos make for perfectly good audio content, especially if the presenter does a good job of making the video “channel” a kind of [progressive enhancement][pe] to the “audio” channel—whether intentionally or otherwise!

You open a webpage with a video on it in Safari with the Downie extension enabled, or in Downie’s built-in browser view (more on this in a moment), and simply choose what to download:
