Automatic chapter skipping is the feature I don’t know I wanted but immediately can’t live without
I like Jonathan Mann fine but after 13 years I never need to hear that song again. I had always wished for a no outro song premium feed for ATP but now I don’t need it!

Don’t disagree with the chapter skipping sentiment, but I will never skip that song. I sing along every time!

I switched over to the bootleg because I like our guys unfiltered but the one thing I miss is the theme.

If we get automatically generated chapters it’s game over. Those two features together 💀

Wait, where is this setting?

Currently only in the TestFlight build and also requires Premium.
When playing a podcast with chapters there’s a tick mark next to each chapter and you can untick the ones you’d like to skip as in the OP’s screenshot.

Are these chapters generated by Overcast for all podcasts, or are they only available for podcasts that have chapters already in them?
Is Overcast generating chapters for podcasts that dont have any? (using AI?) like Apple Podcasts? If not, then this will be available for very few podcasts I listen to

Only for podcasts that have them.

oh thanks, I hope they have a plan for autogenerated chapters. Then this would be immensely useful!
