From 7fa8dd39fbfe039dd47d805be0c8d3e5a47f19f0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gilbert Sanchez Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2026 17:21:51 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] feat(podcast): render YouTube thumbnails and click-to-load embed List cards and episode pages hotlink the YouTube thumbnail (maxresdefault, onerror fallback to hqdefault) when an episode has a `youtube` id, falling back to the existing purple icon otherwise. The single page adds a click-to-load embed facade (thumbnail poster -> youtube-nocookie iframe on click) alongside the existing audio player, avoiding eager iframes across 220 episodes.

Set the aspect ratio via the CSS `aspect-ratio` property instead. Also apply the YouTube-thumbnail-with-icon-fallback to the episode cards on author profile pages, which were always rendering the podcast icon.
