Overcast, A Simple Podcast App Featuring Voice Boost, Smart Speed, and More

Overcast

Overcast is a simple podcast app by Marco Arment with a variety of useful features like Smart Speed and Voice Boost. Smart Speed shortens silences to speed up the process of listening without distortion, and Voice Boost provides the necessary volume boost and normalization to hear sometimes quiet podcasts during loud situations. Arment was also the creator of Instapaper.

More on the two features, and the app in general, is available on Arment’s blog. Overcast is currently available on iOS.
