{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Loftside Bantr","slug":"loftsidebantr","podcastDescription":"Loftside Bantr is where unfiltered opinions meet the mic. Covering everything from sports and gaming to movies, TV, and pop culture, this podcast brings bold takes, real conversations, and the kind of banter no one asked for—but you’ll want to hear.Recorded in an actual loft (go figure!) in Massachusetts, the name is also a play on “offside” (yes, we know—hilarious). Hosted by Andrew, who studied Audio/Video production and finally decided to put it to use in an attempt to switch careers, Loftside Bantr is all about honest discussions, hot takes, and speaking with guests.But here’s the twist—you help shape the show! This podcast thrives on listener suggestions, so if there’s a topic you want covered, throw it our way. Join in, suggest topics, and let’s banter from the loft—because, let’s be honest, nobody really asked for our opinions… but we’re giving them anyway.Support: Andrew Diamontopoulos","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/20375115/20250430_040453_8f4f049fe8d3db8960af0e963c237e78.png","podcastShareLogo":"https://d2bwo9zemjwxh5.cloudfront.net/image-logo/20375115/20250430_040453_8f4f049fe8d3db8960af0e963c237e78_1200x628.jpg?s=3c2b1b78b4eff5ce6e99b1a4ebb9042e&e=png","podcastUrl":"https://loftsidebantr.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":true,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/loftsidebantr/feed.xml","theme":"elegant","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-77grk-136e64b?from=usersite","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":29,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT+00:00","useDaylightTime":0,"value":0,"text":"(GMT+00:00) Casablanca, Monrovia, Reykjavik","daylightStartTime":"Second Sunday Of March +2 Hours","daylightEndTime":"First Sunday Of November +2 Hours","timezone":null},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":34,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"Andrew Diamontopoulos","enableEngagementStats":true,"shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-77grk-136e64b-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":3600,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Apple Podcasts","link":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/loftside-bantr/id1823510351","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/apple-podcast.png","title":null},{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-77grk-136e64b?from=usersite","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/podbean-app.png","title":null},{"name":"Spotify","link":"https://open.spotify.com/show/75XEgAcW1dCxGzikDBE78r","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/spotify.png","title":null},{"name":"Amazon Music","link":"https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/482e370b-305d-4588-b86e-40184b32e008","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/AmazonMusic.png","title":null},{"name":"iHeartRadio","link":"https://iheart.com/podcast/269210778","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/iHeartRadio.png","title":null},{"name":"PlayerFM","link":"https://player.fm/series/3674453","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/PlayerFM.png","title":null},{"name":"Podchaser","link":"https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/loftside-bantr-6011449","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/Podchaser.webp","title":null},{"name":"BoomPlay","link":"https://www.boomplaymusic.com/podcasts/134348","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/BoomPlay.png","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"dark"},{"id":"Font","val":"Geometric Humanist"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"Geometric Humanist"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#428200"},{"id":"PlayerStyle","val":"player2"},{"id":"PlayerWave","val":"show"},{"id":"Favicon","val":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/detauw7s24kwk6qz/Neon_Nights_at_Loftside_Bantr_1_0bdce4b1-1d48-7688-9760-0ab025ea82f5.png"},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"
