I thought of that, too. Generally I did put that off because I expect not good enough quality. The best bet of that would be to use some decent loudspeakers for recording with, in my case, my smartphone.
Regarding your copyright related comments, I would respond that it is possible at this moment to record a podcast distributed by Apple by using the screen recording option of the IPad. It is just totally inefficient and will eat out all your storage.
I live in Germany; there it is perfectly legal to download the mp3 of a call-in show (produced by the publicly funded broadcasters) and have it on your PC. I am sure there is no restriction to you editing the file and cutting out the sequence you want and store it. (Even for that task I am still searching for a good program.) Now, if you want to upload some of this material to YouTube, that could be a copyright infringement. Until today, nobody cared for this in Europe. The programs I am talking about are produced by publicly funded tv and radio stations/networks, by levies everyone is compelled to pay. Some people call these public radio and TV stations even state television. So may be that alone changes the workings of copyright law. And until today no one noticed or complained about recorded material of that source on YouTube and everyone carried on with it. Until today writ large, because there is much in flux right now regarding copyright law in Europe and the European Union.
