Nitpicky Details Feature Request: Chime when skipping a chapter

Hi Marco,

Thank you for the ability to skip chapters in a podcast! I’ve been enjoying the feature.

Sometimes when this feature activates it can be a bit jarring depending on where the chapter breaks are placed. On a few occasions I’ve taken my phone out of my pocket to make sure there wasn’t something wrong with the podcast file or Overcast before realizing what I am hearing was chapter skipping. I think some kind of short generic chime/tone/beep when chapter skipping is triggered would help my brain process what happened. I imagine this might not be ideal behavior for everyone, which is why I’m thinking of this more as a nitpicky detail than a change to how the feature works by default.

Help—One specific podcast makes the whole app crash

Not sure if it is an issue with the app or the podcast itself. This episode was posted well over a week ago and I haven’t been able to listen to it :(
Every other podcast works except for this specific one hence why there are two unlistened ones in the queue. Anyone have a solution for this?

I’ve tried deleting and redownloading the app. I’ve tried deleting and redownloading the episodes. Both with WiFi and with data. I’ve tried unfollowing and following the podcast again. Any other ideas?
