What you will get

A square 1:1 podcast cover with a bold title that stays readable at thumbnail size, a visual idea such as a microphone and skyline, a high-contrast palette and a modern, clean look.

Common mistake

The podcast name is misspelled or too small to read.

Fix: Keep it to two or three words, make it the biggest element, and check the result at 150 pixels wide. Add the name in an editor if the spelling is off.

Also watch for

The cover is full of tiny detail that disappears when shrunk. Use one central icon and a plain background. Details vanish in podcast apps.
The colours are loud but low-contrast. Choose one very light and one very dark colour for the title and the background. Contrast beats colourfulness for readability.

Try a variation: episode art

Ask for “the same design with a different icon for each of three episodes, the title in the same position”. A system helps listeners recognise your show.
