{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"The Connect2 Podcast","slug":"Connect2Podcast","podcastDescription":"A conversation between Mark and Jeff, two information junkies, about a wide range of contemporary issues. We discuss current events, nerdy things, business concepts, marketing, technology, media and photography. As we are based in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, there are lots of local topics. The podcast is generally upbeat and often covers current events and we occasionally have guests. Each episode typically has a central focus for most of the podcast but also lots of other regular topics including what they learned in the last week and what media they are consuming.","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/11723503/connect2_logo_Square_with_title6833x.jpg","podcastShareLogo":"https://d2bwo9zemjwxh5.cloudfront.net/image-logo/11723503/connect2_logo_Square_with_title6833x_1200x628.jpg?s=34cfaa69c8b44157f66ea8f24b884591&e=jpg","podcastUrl":"https://www.connect2podcast.com","podcastCanSearched":true,"feedUrl":"https://www.connect2podcast.com/feed.xml","theme":"podisc","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pu/pbblog-ic2nw-b2e2ef","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":9,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT-07:00","useDaylightTime":1,"value":-7,"text":"(GMT-07:00) Mountain Time (US & Canada)","daylightStartTime":"Second Sunday Of March +2 Hours","daylightEndTime":"First Sunday Of November +2 Hours","timezone":"America/Denver"},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":185,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"Connect2 by Mark Hughes and Jeff Cullen","engagementStatsBaseUrl":"https://d1.podbean.com/webplayer_engagement?u=68190ae0506e38dfe308405c","shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-ic2nw-b2e2ef-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":3600,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Apple Podcasts","link":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-connect2-podcast/id1574132588","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/apple-podcast.png","title":null},{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://r4j68.app.goo.gl/?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.connect2podcast.com%3Faction%3DopenPodcast%26podcastId%3Dpbblog11723503%26podcastIdTag%3Dic2nw&dfl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.connect2podcast.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/7b6HXxgZF7CD4WzIJ5ebNW","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/spotify.png","title":null},{"name":"Amazon Music","link":"https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/42a2b457-ab60-445d-87fe-2e3cc39a29df","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/AmazonMusic.png","title":null},{"name":"TuneIn + Alexa","link":"https://tunein.com/podcasts/Media--Entertainment-Podcasts/Connect2-Podcast-p1456348/","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/tunein.png","title":null},{"name":"PlayerFM","link":"https://player.fm/series/3611434","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/PlayerFM.png","title":null},{"name":"Listen Notes","link":"https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/the-connect2-podcast-mark-hughes-and-jeff-zY9qCn2bwd4/","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/ListenNotes.png","title":null},{"name":"Podchaser","link":"https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/the-connect2-podcast-3979615","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/Podchaser.webp","title":null},{"name":"BoomPlay","link":"https://www.boomplaymusic.com/podcasts/113846","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":"PT Sans"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#ff6d00"},{"id":"Favicon","val":"https://www.podbean.com/images/favicon.ico"},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"
