Podcast Chapter & Transcript Compatibility

In late May 2026, TWiT added support for chapter markers to ad-free episodes published to Club TWiT. Transcript support was added in late October 2026. If you use a podcast app which supports chapter markers, you can now easily skip around to various topics discussed in an episode. If your app supports transcripts, you can follow along with the show.

However, various apps have various levels of compatibility on different platforms. We've researched chapter and transcript compatibility in popular apps and are presenting our findings here for your reference.
