Best way to add artwork to a podcast in Apple Podcasts

With the changing landscape and software, what's the best way to add artwork to a podcast? Can I do it in Music or GrarageBand, or maybe Logic? (Besides an RSS). Also, which is the easiest way to do this, if different from the best way.

Thank you!!

The easiest and most reliable way to add artwork is through your podcast host, where you upload it once and it’s tied to your show or individual episodes in the RSS feed so it appears automatically in Apple Podcasts. GarageBand and Logic don’t let you add podcast cover art directly, but you can embed it in your MP3 afterward using the Music app on your Mac if you want it to show when someone downloads and plays the file locally. That said, Apple Podcasts primarily pulls artwork from your RSS feed, so for most creators, just adding it in your host’s settings is both the simplest and most effective option.
