    Highlights and great moments

    Tap the thumb while you listen to highlight a great moment. It lands on the timeline and in Highlights, and replays a few seconds early.

    The player now also shows where other listeners highlighted an episode, anonymously. Like any episode with the heart, and close the player bar with the × that appears on hover.

    Transcripts and chapters

    When a show publishes a transcript, the full-screen player follows along line by line: tap a line to jump there, or search inside the episode.

    Chapters work the same way, and the current chapter shows under the title. Episodes with a transcript carry a Transcript tag on the show page.
