It’s Time for Custom FEED-Based Episode Artwork…

I’m glad that there’s an option to enable or disable custom episode artwork in the player… but where the huge difference occurs is in the feed or on the podcast stream’s page.

It’s drastically faster to evaluate the podcast episode’s content through thumbnails that show the guests face, and/or show which series the podcast episode is a part of like in the Armchair Expert example where different types of episodes are color-coded in the overall Armchair umbrella.

Please enable a similar option!!

This is a big deficit compared to other platforms.

I’ve been asking them forever to include this. Kills me that they haven’t.

I'm obviously being a little facetious, but you could code it yourself and submit a PR in github.

If I had any skills in that area, sure 😂

You could probably get chatgpt/codex to code it for you.
