Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 2026: 15 - Bark Board: Andrew Han
Q: What problem is BarkBoard solving for disc dogging communities?
It centralizes data across multiple organizations and games, making it easier to track progress, compare performance, and keep notes and event history in one place, which saves time and reduces reliance on spreadsheets.
Episode 2026 : 14 - On Deck Manager with Bob Hall
Q: Bob, can you just like, before we jump into the management platform, can you just talk to us a little bit, tell us about your dog, your club that you play with, and maybe when you started UpDogging?
Bob explains his dog Teo, his travel and trial with Flyball and UpDiff, and the formation of a new club in New Hampshire (603 Disc Dogs). He shares how his early experiences with Frisbee and training led him to contribute a scheduling and management toolset that evolved into On Deck Manager, aimed at helping clubs run events more smoothly. He emphasizes his learning curve with UpDiff and his intention to iterate and improve the software based on real-world feedback.
Episode 2026:1 - New Rules, New Games: 2026
Q: So why do we need a new game rules format, Jack?
The existing rules documents are messy and inconsistently formatted, which can confuse players. A new format aims to ensure clarity and uniformity across all game rules.
The DiscDog Tracker App: Guest - Daniel Bene
Q: What do you think is what's different other than that?
Daniel explains that version 2 of the app is easier to use, with less downtime and the ability to quickly switch between teams.
The DiscDog Tracker App: Guest - Daniel Bene
Q: What do you do in life that allows you to do this stuff?
Daniel works in marketing for a window and door replacement company where he tracks a lot of data, leading him to enjoy working with spreadsheets.
