Loftside Bantr brings the energy this week with returning guest Marina Dickey and three key voices from the Granite State Destroyers: veteran standout Tyler Shattuck, Defensive Coordinator Michael Harper, and new quarterback Jayden Hann. We dive into the culture and grind of semi-pro football and what keeps these athletes locked in.

Then we shift gears to spotlight Boston Red Sox top prospect Roman Anthony, celebrate Coco Gauff’s dominant run to a French Open title, and wrap with a feel-good story of UFL quarterback J’Mar Smith — who went from serving coffee at Dunkin to leading a playoff team.

Real stories. Real bantr. Let’s get into it.
