Your podcast cover art isn’t decoration, it’s the billboard for your show. In today’s episode of As It Relates to Podcasting, I’m breaking down exactly how to create podcast artwork that stops the scroll, builds trust, and attracts listeners.
You’ll learn:
✅ Why your face + name beat a generic logo for building authority
✅ When to avoid using your face (and what to do instead)
✅ The biggest cover art mistakes podcasters make (tiny fonts, busy backgrounds, inconsistent branding)
✅ How to test your podcast artwork against competitors so it stands out
✅ The difference between scroll-stopping designs vs. instantly forgettable ones
If you’re launching or rebranding your podcast, this episode will help you avoid costly mistakes and design cover art that works on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
