Foundation Podcasts
Hosted by Foundation Podcasts
A multi-format podcast feed from a disc golf retailer, featuring pro player roundtables and structured panel debates on tour news and industry topics.
This is a multi-show podcast channel dedicated entirely to disc golf, produced by a retail company. One format, "Debate Night," pits a rotating panel of players and personalities against each other on timely topics, moderated by co-founder Trevor Staub. The other main show, "Tour Life," is a looser, roundtable talk show where pros like Brodie Smith and Paul Ulibarri recap tournaments and share stories from the road.
“Unlike single-host shows, Foundation leverages a rotating cast of well-known professional players and its own staff across multiple formats, offering both structured debate and casual "locker room" talk under one brand. Its direct connection to a retail business gives its discussions on equipment and industry trends a unique, commercially-aware angle.”
