I have a podcast which has all the necessary artwork but not the artist image. So it looks good until you see the empty image for artist (Apple has a microphone image)
I want to know how I do this? Thanks in advance.
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.0
The latest OS, Catalina, doesn't have iTunes: it has Podcasts app and this doesn't show the 'Artists' listing. However, my guess is that the Artists listing should show your image but hasn't got round to picking it up yet - these delays can happen in iTunes. There isn't anywhere else you can put your image - you plainly have it in the right places now.

I have this all done and that image is working well. That is not the image to which I refer. It is the one that shows up under "artists". See the image below.
I have been banging my head how to get my podcast to have an image that reflects the show.
You have to create an image, upload it to your server, and place the URL in the 'itunes:image' tag in the feed: or, if you are using one of the many podcast creation apps or services, you deal with the image as detailed in their Help.
The image must conform to these parameters:
Dimensions: minimum 1400 x 1400 px, maximum 3000 x 3000 px, and square. If you hope to be considered as a 'featured' podcast (though the comopetition is intense) you must use 3000 x 3000 px.
File size: less than 500kB.
Format: RGB; no alpha channel; JPG or PNG.
Once you have added an image it may take some days to appear in the Podcasts App or iTunes.
Where are you seeing that - what version of Podcasts are you using: Mac or iOS?; can you post a screenshot: and what is the URL of your feed? But images are in any case only drawn from the 'itunes:image' tags in the top section and within each episode.
That is in the iTunes itself. See below:
The artists column is in iTunes on a Mac, latest OS.
And in list view, you can this again:
Sorry, I am using Music to listen ,but you are right. Perhaps this is the final step to move away from merging music and podcasts. So this solves it! Thanks!
Yes, the various components of iTunes have been split into individual apps. The Podcasts app is designed for podcasts to include subscribing and browsing.
Thanks so much. :)
