Any examples or projects anyone has used for podcast visuals?

I've looked around on the forum and so far haven't found any examples or projects where someone is using Magic for podcast visuals. Anyone have any examples of such a thing? I assume cover art would be involved somehow at least... Thanks in advance!

I quickly decided that having anything audio-reactive was distracting, even if it was very subtle. Lots of people watch YouTube on televisions, where motion can feel like an assault. I produce a book podcast, and try to quickly whip up something bespoke for each episode. We're a pretty popular show but we don't really ever even mention the YouTube channel because it's more of an experiment. If you scroll thorough, you can see me trying quite a lot of different things when I have very little time to devote to it. Some work better than others. I suspect you'll find some good ideas, even if my implementations are sometimes lacking/bizarre. https://www.youtube.com/@FatedMates/videos

Here are a few interesting ones.

Took the subject of a book cover and scrolled the book's background behind it. Things that appear static actually move just a little bit over time to keep from burning things into people's displays. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spZNcKCSMIQ&t=213s
I do a lot of book slideshows and animate backgrounds that are tied to the book cover. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0jh3b7zZwc&t=12s

Not mine, but here are a couple of examples of extensive Magic use in a livestream. Perhaps this will be of some interest to you.
Some years back @frank_hw used Magic and a greenscreen background in his Klub Trippy DJ livestream sessions on Twitch.

There are a couple of old videos on his YouTube channel which illustrate this, but he used OBS creatively too.

Frank's still active on Twitch, but has changed his studio setup and now has a lot of real lighting. Far less content that's clearly Magic.
I really liked his visuals - and music choice - but found it hard to follow him from the UK as his Twitch sessions are typically from 2am - 5am GMT https://www.twitch.tv/frank_hw.
