Podcast cover art

Government covers, and how yours sits among them

The smallest chart here by audience, and the most visually conservative. Almost nothing in it is trying to look modern.

Looked after by Sleeve, a record sleeve.

Put your cover in the Government chart

This is Apple’s current top 100 for Government in the United States, the largest of the ten stores on this site. Add your artwork once and it shows up in all four views: in a library row at 55 pixels, on the browse wall, at every size on its own, and against Apple’s file requirements. If you publish elsewhere, the other nine charts are linked below and each one is genuinely different.

Your image is read by your own browser and never sent anywhere. No account, no upload, no limit. Add it once and every view below uses it.

Other genres

What Government covers actually do

Strict Scrutiny is blue with a gavel, 5-4 is columns, American Power is gold serif on black, Lawfare Daily is a plain white card. Where there is a photograph it is usually a building or a presenter at a desk. Red, navy and off-white do most of the work.

At 55 pixels

A serif set in gold on black is a wordmark that looks authoritative at full size and disappears at 55 pixels, because the thin strokes go first. If you want the institutional look, take the weight up rather than the size down.

Counted, in today’s chart

23 of these 100 shows have a name longer than 25 characters. The average is 21.4. The longest is "Brief Recess: A Legal Podcast with Michael Foote & Mélissa Malebranche", which is not a name that fits in a list row.

35 of them get by on two words or fewer. Those are the covers that can set their name large enough to read while scrolling.

The DSR Network holds 3 of the 100 places. A publisher with that many shows in one chart is running a house style, so several of the covers you are placed against are variations of one another.

These numbers come from the same chart drawn above and change as it does.
