Youtube channel or playlist to RSS feed, that I can then add to my podcast player. The link should point to the audio version of the youtube video.
There is already one out there that I use, but its very badly designed.

Yes. Plenty of such channels out there.
> saving the files would get costly after a while
You don't have the save the audio files. Its possible to just directly link, within the RSS feed, to the audio files hosted on youtube servers. The server simply has to periodically generate the RSS feed using YouTube api calls, and then host the RSS files. Surely, storing even 10s of thousands of RSS feeds won't cost that much. They aren't also being requested that often, so bandwidth costs are minimal.
> Would you pay for something like this?
Sure.

It doesn't let me choose the feed icon/image. Instead, the image is the text of the service name. This is very annoying because scrolling through my subscriptions on my podcast player, I primarily use the image to identify the one I am looking for.
