Jerome, for an example of "chapters" as described by Jack, check out the
CBC Radio 3 podcast on this page:

I am a bit of a CBC podcast junkie -- to my knowledge Radio 3 is the
only one who uses chapters. It's too bad. I would particularly like to
see them on the regional podcasts. (The Toronto podcast, at least, is
made up of 3 segments from different shows, and if I don't like the
first one, it's a struggle to find the start of the second!)
