Podcast Album Art Standards and Apple's Implementation
The importance of attractive, symbolic album art for podcast episodes is discussed, highlighting the work of producer Mark G. The technical side of podcasting is addressed, specifically how Apple often fails to support its own patented standards for per-episode album art within its podcasting app.
