SUMMARY
Episode title and podcasts title are illegible when the embedded cover art within MP3 has a transparent background

Example Podcast: Marketplace Morning Report
https://www.marketplace.org/feed/podcast/marketplace-morning-report
Important Note: Podcast cover art has a white background while the individual episode cover art embedded within the file (not in feed) has cover art with a transparent background. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Subscribe to Marketplace Morning Report
2. Click on Subscriptions
3. Click on Marketplace Morning Report
4. Click on on an Episode that has cover art with a transparent background

OBSERVED RESULT
Episode title and podcasts title are illegible in Episode Details, because episode's mp3 embedded cover art has a transparent background
Podcast title is legible in Podcast details page, because podcast cover art has a white background.

Set a dark enough background on header

This is needed to make the header text legible if the image background
itself is transparent.
