Testimonials
I interview different guests every week and used to spend forever making new episode artwork. Now I have a template with my branding locked in. Just swap the guest photo and episode title.

True crime podcasts need consistent episode numbering. Had a mess before, now everything is organized and listeners actually find old episodes.

Thumbnails with guest faces get way more clicks than just text. This makes positioning headshots easy even if you have zero design skills.
