Who We Are

Bonanno Sports Banter isn't just another sports podcast. Since launching in 2018, we've created a space for thoughtful, relaxed conversations that go beyond headlines and box scores — real stories, told authentically.

What Sets Us Apart

  • A father–son dynamic blending decades of front-office experience with a modern player's perspective
  • Rooted in Seattle sports, but open to voices from every sport and background
  • Conversations that go beyond the game into life, leadership, family, and faith

Why It Matters

At the heart of the show is a real curiosity about life, leadership, and the lessons sports can teach. Justin's corporate-world drive to learn from proven leaders, paired with Eric's decades of leadership in sports, creates space for guests to reflect and share insight that goes beyond the scoreboard.

A Lifetime Around the Game

Growing Up in the Game

Long before the microphones, it was baseball gloves, hockey sticks, and a dad in the stands — the same story that shapes every conversation on the show.
