{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Life on the B Side","slug":"lifeontheBside","podcastDescription":"Life on the B Side is where the raw, real, and often humorous side of Gen X life gets talked about. Hosted by Maria, this podcast dives into the ups and downs of being a grown-up whose A Side played out in the 90s.\n\nWith a mix of personal stories, (mildly questionable) advice, and reflections on how life has changed since the 80s and 90s, tune in for stories that resonate with anyone who’s walked the line between cassette tapes and smartphones.\n\nIf we learned anything from B sides, it’s this: don’t underestimate them. \nYou might just find a hidden gem, and they’re always worth a listen.","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/19609153/Main_art_cover6yh8i.png","podcastShareLogo":"https://d2bwo9zemjwxh5.cloudfront.net/image-logo/19609153/Main_art_cover6yh8i_1200x628.jpg?s=dfce27f1953c95fdf7b43f06d2ff46d9&e=png","podcastUrl":"https://lifeontheBside.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":true,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/lifeontheBside/feed.xml","theme":"waves","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-sf2nn-12b3641","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":30,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT+00:00","useDaylightTime":1,"value":0,"text":"(GMT+00:00) Greenwich Mean Time : Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London","daylightStartTime":"Last Sunday of March +1 Hours","daylightEndTime":"Last Sunday Of October +1 Hours","timezone":"Europe/London"},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":25,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"Maria","enableEngagementStats":true,"shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-sf2nn-12b3641-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":3600,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Apple Podcasts","link":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hello-wall-podcast/id1774032007","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/apple-podcast.png","title":null},{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://podbeanapp.page.link/?link=https%3A%2F%2FlifeontheBside.podbean.com%3Faction%3DopenPodcast%26podcastId%3Dpbblog19609153%26podcastIdTag%3Dsf2nn&dfl=https%3A%2F%2FlifeontheBside.podbean.com&utm_campaign=pb_web&utm_source=podbean_web&utm_medium=dlink&imv=670&amv=530&isi=973361050&ibi=com.podbean.app.podcast&ipbi=com.podbean.app.podcast&apn=com.podbean.app.podcast","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/podbean-app.png","title":null},{"name":"Spotify","link":"https://open.spotify.com/show/5OVoTTVZEHNb8PsXcb5dvf","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/spotify.png","title":null},{"name":"Amazon Music","link":"https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/1f0ae448-5238-4619-9f23-983f394c676d","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/AmazonMusic.png","title":null},{"name":"iHeartRadio","link":"https://iheart.com/podcast/227739947","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/iHeartRadio.png","title":null},{"name":"PlayerFM","link":"https://player.fm/series/3608408","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/PlayerFM.png","title":null},{"name":"Podchaser","link":"https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/hello-wall-podcast-5861827","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/Podchaser.webp","title":null},{"name":"BoomPlay","link":"https://www.boomplaymusic.com/podcasts/113311","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/BoomPlay.png","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"light"},{"id":"Font","val":"Open Sans"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"Open Sans"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#3A61B9"},{"id":"PlayerStyle","val":"player1"},{"id":"PlayerWave","val":"show"},{"id":"Favicon","val":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/i4h57ufxgmkq6t79/Simple_podcast_banner_-_High_Resolution_JPG_file6a2a4960-06c9-dfdd-6642-bee7794fa1a9.jpg"},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"

All I can do is apologise for this one.
