Tod Maffin 🇨🇦@overcastfm Can one day Overcast display episode artwork? It’s pretty much the only app that ignores it now.
Michael@tod @overcastfm This was covered in ATP 601.
For what it’s worth, I think the current behavior makes sense.
@michaelrjohnson @overcastfm I don’t listen to the podcast. What was the rationale?
@tod @overcastfm Assuming that users — at least in part — recognize podcasts by their artwork, in views where episodes from multiple podcasts are shown, the “main” artwork is displayed to help users more easily distinguish between shows.
It may be implemented in the future in views where only one podcast is shown.

Currently I’m not using overcast but others. Some were displaying episode artworks in the list of new episodes and I HATED it 😆 because I was unable to see which podcast it came from at a glance. I know „oh that orange thing, put it up front, that black-white thing next“ - this visual approach is falling apart when every episode shod different images 🤪
At least a big enough overlay of the podcast artwork would be helpful.
