Hi Dave. I listen to the No Agenda podcast (https://www.noagendashow.net) almost every time. I saw the "Live" function in my Podverse app work; it's amazing what you guys have done and are doing.
My 'problem' is ... I guess many people with a myriad of interests in so many topics is ... that a day has only 24 hours. I assume everyone has content that's more ore less prioritized ... and other content that's also interesting, but that's secondary or even tertiary. The latter two are now "only to be clicked on" if there's time left.
What I am thinking about is whether you are already working on the following idea; is it possible and maybe could be seen to attract more traffic when a podcast as-a-service could include a different idea of Chapters but akin to it; additionally a chapter or maybe in the hierarchical sense built on the same level as the podcast itself ... to cut audio sections and once clicked it plays all chapters automatically (for instance a whole podcast lasts 180 minutes with 20 chapters -median time 9 min- and play in that file 20 times 20 seconds).
For the NA podcast that wouldn't be necessary because there's lot's of fun interspersed over the whole podcast (so you wouldn't like to skip that) ... but listening to a business podcast or any podcast that is more monotone /tedious ... it'd be an asset to skip the currently built-in chapter-part where the user still has to manually skip through chapters (which isn't safely doable as a driver in a car for example). I am thinking "wouldn't it be appealing to click on one button and hear/skip through a podcast in 1/20th of the time (in normal speed of course).
Thanks for making podcasting a far better experience
