A magical, Harry Potter-themed promotional graphic for EdTechSR Episode 369, titled "Dogpile and Dark Arts," featuring two men dressed as wizards in a gothic castle setting. The image is filled with digital metaphors: one wizard conjures glowing "AI" icons with a wand, while dark clouds labeled "AI Social Engineering" launch "DDoS" energy beams at a Wikipedia shield protected by a Russian flag. Floating artifacts include the "CIA World Factbook," magical "Daily Prophet" newspapers with headlines about media literacy, and a crystal ball displaying social media icons with "delete" prompts. The podcast title appears in a stylized font at the top, with the website "edtechSR.com" at the bottom.
