So this is a tough one. It's two issues, really.
1. Countdown and Meet the Press not showing up
So those 'thumbnails' are actually 800x800 ~400kb images. It used to be that PodTrapper happily tried to load them and resize them to display. The problem is they use a LOT of ram. Like, hour-glassing all the time lots. Most of the newer phones probably won't notice it, but pearl, curve, etc users would get killed by them. I've been meaning to put in an image encoder so I could resize them once and then re-save them to the new size, but I just haven't had a chance yet. Maybe I'll try to get it in the next release.
2. CBS News not filling the space
The issue here is that the CBS news thumbnail isn't square. Since it's just text, it doesn't really look horrible when you stretch that one out to be square (though the logo turns into an ellipse), I'm sure there are others that would. I could probably center the icon in the black area I draw it (and probably should), but I'm not sure ditching the aspect ration looks 'better'. I imagine they stretch because their layout doesn't really accommodate showing a non-square image...
