Hi, the reason for not seeing an image is pretty easy: the podcast feed does not specify an image. Feel free to contact the publishers and tell them that the image is missing :)

Aha, I will let them know.

How about the low visibility of white text on grey background?

P. S. I guess the option for user provided podcast image would be a feature request, wouldn`t it.

Sorry, I do not think so. Publishers have to provide valid feeds. We are pretty much dependent on them and can not just provide options for everything they could potentially mess up. With this argument, one could basically also say that AntennaPod should have an option to add your own episodes to the feed. AntennaPod already has a huge number of options that only a few people use while cluttering the UI for all other users. I do not want to add more of them.

I kept the issue open because of this :) I changed a few things related to the feed list recently but still need to check if the contrast is better now.

Is it the same problem for : http://feeds.feedburner.com/CultureMiam ? Episodes are showing specific cover but there is no general cover displayed in subscription list.
I am not sure but think it was displaying an image before beta 2. And it is when searching for it to add subscription.

They specify an image but the link of the image they specify is broken:
