    I do my podcast listening while at work. Since I drive a truck, I can only look things up and post while sitting at traffic lights. It would really benefit me more to see pics as most lights don't stay red long enough for me to watch a video.

    Just started listening <5 minutes ago, so this is just a quick comment on the Chapter Markers.

    Since I have a weird situation where I can only listen to the podcast on my desktop computer, I just choose to use the MP3 and listen to each in one sitting. So to me, the M4A with chapter markers doesn't matter.

    I don't care about the chapter markers at all. For me, their only benefit is seeing what pictures they have. Toss those same pictures in the chapter notes, and I'd be missing nothing.

    The Final Chapters....

    I hardly use the chapter marks. So if the lack of them increases the frequency of the show them I'd say good bye to them.

    I can count on one hand the number of times I've used the chapter markers since you guys started doing this. I wouldn't miss them if they have to go.

    I only listen to the mp3 files, so no chapters is A-OK.

    I would rather have a podcast than chapter markers.

    I will join the not-vocal minority and say that I do use chapter markings. I listen at work, and I listen to other podcasts, so sometimes I scrub past a few bits of WTF (because it's a frickin' long podcast!) I use the pictures to tell me what topic you're on.

    I love the podcast. But it's very long, and sometimes I skip stuff.

    Drop the chapter markings. It's not worth having to spend more time editing each podcast, and it's pretty easy to scroll through a podcast without chapter markings to get to a new topic.

    I think the chapter breaks are nice and one of the little touches that puts your production a few steps ahead of most every other TF Podcast out there (& I think I listen to most of them). I have used the breaks to skip ahead on occasion, but if cutting them out helps you to be able to still produce these at the level to which we've become accustomed, then I say 86 them!
    Thanks for putting out such a richly produced and entertaining show!

    I think I've used the chapter markers twice. If you don't want them I don't need them.

    I always download the mp3 version, so I never use the chapter markings either. Heck, I didn't even know they existed in the first place!

    I do not use the chapter markings and I do love the podcast. I can even get my wife who hates tf talk to listen because of the excellent rapport and cool personalities of both odd and even crews. Thanks and please do keep it up. F$#& chapters!!!!!

    I use the iTunes chapter markings because I usually skip the listener questions. It's not like I'm going to stop listening if you drop them though :rolleyes2

    Do I use the chapter markings? Yes. Could I live without them? Yes. You guys put out a great podcast, if cutting that means life's a little easier on you, then I'm all for it. Keep up the great work guys.
