2/3 - Our next update to this feature is to add a real-time chat window so you can communicate together as you listen live together.

Below is my friend Neal Veglio, I got a notification that he was listening live to this week's Podnews Weekly Review.

3/3 - Sadly, we have no real-time chat option yet but it's on the roadmap and coming soon.
