Podcast artwork hacks

Award-winning podcasters Damien St John and Ant McGinley expose the make-or-break element most creators overlook: your podcast artwork.

Is your artwork inviting new listeners or sending them scrolling? We uncover the critical mistakes that kill discoverability, reveal what top-performing shows understand about visual psychology, and share free tools to transform your brand today. The truth? Your brilliant content means nothing if your artwork doesn't stop thumbs from scrolling.
