If you discuss various different topics within one podcast episode, you can create chapter markers to allow listeners to see a list of those topics along with their time stamps, and then tap/click them to start playing any individual chapter. It provides an easy way for listeners to skip to any section they want to hear immediately.
I think chapters in podcast episodes are a great idea but I’ve never used them as a listener, and I haven’t had the need/time/reason to implement them for my Podcast Engineering Show.
FYI, the chapter marker information is stored within the metadata of the MP3 file.
And here are some apps which you can use to create the chapter markers:

I think you can add Chapters in Fisson.
Like you, I’ve not had the need, but maybe one day…,,,
Hindenburg also supports chapters.
Note that the current version of ID3 Editor (V1.26.43) does not support chapters. So if you create chapters in a different application, then tag the MP3 file with ID3 Editor, you will lose your chapters! I went nuts trying to figure out why my chapters wouldn’t appear after publishing the episode. The developer tells me a future release will support chapters.
Thanks for this info, Max!
