{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"The Books We Loved","slug":"booksweloved","podcastDescription":"The Books We Loved is a podcast about revisiting old favorites with an open mind and a new perspective. Despite the title, we won’t be limiting ourselves to books-- movies, music, TV shows, and other aspects of pop culture will be up for discussion. Hosts and TPL Librarians Manda and Olivia (alongside some special guests from the Troy community!) will be asking themselves: does this book hold up? \n \nTune in to revisit your old favorites while adding some new titles to your TBR list.","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/14222442/Podcast_Logo_2_ug6v2q.png","podcastShareLogo":"https://d2bwo9zemjwxh5.cloudfront.net/image-logo/14222442/Podcast_Logo_2_ug6v2q_1200x628.jpg?s=fb57778e82d874d691d059fc0fa1165b&e=png","podcastUrl":"https://booksweloved.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":true,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/booksweloved/feed.xml","theme":"elegant","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-6fttp-d9046a?from=usersite","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":15,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT-05:00","useDaylightTime":1,"value":-5,"text":"(GMT-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)","daylightStartTime":"Second Sunday Of March +2 Hours","daylightEndTime":"First Sunday Of November +2 Hours","timezone":"America/New_York"},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":85,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"Troy Public LIbrary","enableEngagementStats":true,"shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-6fttp-d9046a-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":3600,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Apple Podcasts","link":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-books-we-loved/id1634268921","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/apple-podcast.png","title":null},{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-6fttp-d9046a?from=usersite","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/podbean-app.png","title":null},{"name":"Spotify","link":"https://open.spotify.com/show/4pvrHfu43uz8BfXIDWo5oB","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/spotify.png","title":null},{"name":"Amazon Music","link":"https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/f1e0c49d-a726-4807-ae30-79aeb5688936","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/AmazonMusic.png","title":null},{"name":"iHeartRadio","link":"https://iheart.com/podcast/99762379","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/iHeartRadio.png","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"light"},{"id":"Font","val":"Open Sans"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"Open Sans"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#8fc31f"},{"id":"PlayerStyle","val":"player1"},{"id":"PlayerWave","val":"show"},{"id":"Favicon","val":null},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"
