{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Franchise Ain’t Dead","slug":"stateofthefranchise","podcastDescription":"I’ve played, I’ve coached but I enjoy managing sports teams into greatness. My knees don’t work like my thumbs do.\nWelcome to the sports gaming podcast, Franchise Ain’t Dead, where I shine a heavenly light on the sports gaming landscape that is Franchise & career modes. Whether you’re a long time hardcore gamer of these modes or just a casual fan who likes to dabble in building teams from the ground up, I want to talk about the foundational mode to many sports video games.\nEach episode, we’ll explore different sports games & topics, from the latest releases to timeless classics, and discuss everything from content creators who play and influence the game to development teams who are creating some of the latest offerings as well as real life aspects we would like to see from future titles and those who add that extra spice of life to your gaming experience. From MLB the Show to Madden NFL to NBA 2K to FIFA and non-professional sports leagues and even sports that aren’t as widely seen in the US, this podcast has got you covered.\nTune in each week to join the conversation as we remind the gaming community that we aren’t just a copy & paste genre that has a bounding pulse!","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/16138433/FranchiseAintDeadPodcastSquare.png","podcastShareLogo":"https://d2bwo9zemjwxh5.cloudfront.net/image-logo/16138433/FranchiseAintDeadPodcastSquare_1200x628.jpg?s=a33a5e99f8cce49be685e73766827768&e=png","podcastUrl":"https://stateofthefranchise.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":true,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/stateofthefranchise/feed.xml","theme":"elegant","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-vw6ju-f640c1?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":28,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"stateofthefranchise","enableEngagementStats":true,"shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-vw6ju-f640c1-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":10800,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Apple Podcasts","link":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/franchise-aint-dead/id1688738558","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/apple-podcast.png","title":null},{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-vw6ju-f640c1?from=usersite","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/podbean-app.png","title":null},{"name":"Spotify","link":"https://open.spotify.com/show/1NfKArTbPhzsiRgIjVziq6","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/spotify.png","title":null},{"name":"Amazon Music","link":"https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/ff144a30-2a01-4729-9923-32f9c453f356","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/AmazonMusic.png","title":null},{"name":"TuneIn + Alexa","link":"https://tunein.com/radio/Franchise-Aint-Dead-p3744203/","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/tunein.png","title":null},{"name":"iHeartRadio","link":"https://iheart.com/podcast/116556881","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/iHeartRadio.png","title":null},{"name":"PlayerFM","link":"https://player.fm/series/3481615","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/PlayerFM.png","title":null},{"name":"Podchaser","link":"https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/franchise-aint-dead-5359148","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/Podchaser.webp","title":null},{"name":"BoomPlay","link":"https://www.boomplaymusic.com/podcasts/68359","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/BoomPlay.png","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"dark"},{"id":"Font","val":"Courier New"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"Oswald"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#E8291C"},{"id":"PlayerStyle","val":"player2"},{"id":"PlayerWave","val":"show"},{"id":"Favicon","val":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/iq3su7/FranchiseAintDeadPodcastSquare.png"},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"

From the Youtube channel, State of the Franchise Gaming, I, Ramel aka Raymul, bring to the masses the only sports gaming podcast I've seen lately. I have been a sports gamer for 25+ years when games were pixelated to current day where a passerby assumes I am watching a real life game. Join me weekly as we discuss different aspects of Franchise & career mode gaming with other content creators & possibly some game devs!
