           | The button has the pause icon, but it doesn't pause it stops
           | and when play is hit again, it starts from the beginning.
           | There is no pause behavior.
           | 
           | It would be nice if I knew how far along the individual clip
           | one is. The background for the currently playing segment
           | should be highlighted.

           | Since this is a multiparty QA, it would be nice to be able to
           | listen to just one person's answers.

         | an audio Q&A app where experts answer questions in short audio
         | clips. We're starting with career advice and are already
         | hosting 100+ speakers so far.

         | while doing something else.
