My name is Katy Hunt and for the last 20 years, I have been either going to or working for multiple conventions across the New England area. Some have been very successful and some... well. That’s what this podcast is for, sharing the good memories and the not so good memories. The goal is to bring on guests to share their own stories and hopefully a few Special Guests from time too time to talk about their own run ins.","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/10954449/Convention.png","podcastShareLogo":"https://d2bwo9zemjwxh5.cloudfront.net/image-logo/10954449/Convention_1200x628.jpg?s=7acb9977e62ecae4b93184c527eb3a80&e=png","podcastUrl":"https://conventionconfessional.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":true,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/conventionconfessional/feed.xml","theme":"double-tree","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-wnbda-a726d1?from=usersite","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":17,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT-04:00","useDaylightTime":1,"value":-4,"text":"(GMT-04:00) Atlantic Time (Canada)","daylightStartTime":"Second Sunday Of March +2 Hours","daylightEndTime":"First Sunday Of November +2 Hours","timezone":"America/Halifax"},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":98,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"Katy Hunt","enableEngagementStats":true,"shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-wnbda-a726d1-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":3600,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Apple Podcasts","link":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/convention-confessional/id1556508831","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/apple-podcast.png","title":null},{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-wnbda-a726d1?from=usersite","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/podbean-app.png","title":null},{"name":"Spotify","link":"https://open.spotify.com/show/570symzoKJ6ci5dvNhxkTa","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/spotify.png","title":null},{"name":"Amazon Music","link":"https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/48354da3-ccc6-443a-97cc-4031b1d33d01","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/AmazonMusic.png","title":null},{"name":"TuneIn + Alexa","link":"https://tunein.com/podcasts/Comedy-Podcasts/Convention-Confessional-p1419283/","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/tunein.png","title":null},{"name":"iHeartRadio","link":"https://iheart.com/podcast/81447515/","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/iHeartRadio.png","title":null},{"name":"PlayerFM","link":"https://player.fm/series/3350670","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/PlayerFM.png","title":null},{"name":"Listen Notes","link":"https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/convention-confessional-katy-hunt-TX1CW_fDB0r/","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/ListenNotes.png","title":null},{"name":"Podchaser","link":"https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/convention-confessional-2171211","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/Podchaser.webp","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"dark"},{"id":"Font","val":"Tahoma"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"PT Sans"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#FFBE00"},{"id":"PlayerStyle","val":"player1"},{"id":"PlayerWave","val":"hide"},{"id":"Favicon","val":"https://www.podbean.com/images/favicon.ico"},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"
