 Whoa. Did @c713ed05 hire Scott Forstall to add faux corinthian leather stitching the podcast art for the private feed?

Curious to hear the story behind this.  @3d174fcc @a6ff0b2b @f0727292 ?

 @174ceb6b I added it! We were looking for a way to distinguish the new member-specials-only feed, and I came up with the stitching (because the members-only feed is supposed to look like Alcantara, and this kind of colored stitching, is common on Alcantara in cars.

Once we had the stitching, Marco suggested that we use it (in a different color) for the regular members feed as well, to help distinguish it from the public feed more clearly than just the existing Alcantara-looking background.
