First, Grant and Jen have a long, casual convo with Cale Leiviska, pro player and designer of The Preserve (hosting the upcoming DGPT event). Then, we catch a moment with the US Am champion, Ilkin Groh, who's already back at his 9-to-5.

Before they started Bevel Craft Brewing in Oregon, Nate Doss and Valarie Jenkins-Doss brewed up seven world disc golf championships. They are also two primary commentators on the Disc Golf Network. Grant and Jen catch up with them just before the pro tour rolls into town.

If you saw "Flatball" – the Ultimate documentary – you are acquainted with this week's guest, but you may not know it. Dennis "Cribber" Warsen joins Grant and Jennifer to talk about his next exciting film project.

De Laveaga disc golf course is on everyone's bucket list, thanks to people like Marty Hapner, a Hall of Famer and former TD of the Masters Cup in Santa Cruz. We chat about history and the upcoming pro tourney.

Some are calling this a "week off." Not for Grant and Jen, nor for our guest Allen Risley, Tourney Director of the upcoming Challenge at Goat Hill Park. This convo covers a lot of ground.

Grant and Jen track down Dynamic Disc Open's course designer (and so much more), Eric McCabe for a preview of the always-anticipated tourney in Emporia, Kansas. Note: You're gonna see lots of "new" this weekend!

From the International Disc Golf Center in Appling, Georgia, Grant and Jen first remember "Old Man" Wallis with a chat with his son (and PDGA board member) Wilbur Wallis... then we get the first interviews with the first PDGA Champions Cup victors.

So here's the deal... we walked around at the Champions Cup, just talking to players, staff, whoever. Sure the audio is a little rough. What did you expect? Enjoy going behind-the-scenes with us during final prep before 2022's first Major.

It's the week of the inaugural PDGA Champions Cup. First, Grant and Jen welcome Michael Sizemore and Carlos Lozano from presenting sponsor Bushnell. Then, it's tournament director Robert Leonard talking about the iconic W.R. Jackson course.

Guest Tim Barr is the director of disc golf at Milligan University, one of the first scholarship-offering collegiate disc golf programs in the United States. Plus, the 2022 College Disc Golf National Championships – a PDGA Major – are this weekend. Lots to talk about.

Award-Winning Tournament Director Doug Bjerkaas has designed disc golf courses of all shapes and sizes... so we're talking about the evolution of disc golf course design this week on PDGA Radio.

The Queen of Discs, 5x World Champion Elaine King joins Grant and Jen in the midst of her Texas swing of disc golf tournaments.

For the first time, it's hard to write a worthy description for an episode. That's how much we love hearing from the legend, PDGA #003 Dan "Stork" Roddick. If you know, you know. If you don't, you will. We talk history, Stork's nickname, and the Disc Golfers' Code.

Todd Lion of the PDGA's Event Support Team talks "rules" with Grant and Jen (specifically, that Mando rules update from last week). We also spend a quick moment talking candidacy for the Disc Golf Hall of Fame, and the fact that the criteria was recently modified.

Grant and Jen talk about Viva-ing Las Vegas, then get a little experimental with an unscripted, unplanned, lunchtime chat with Drew Gibson, his Sunday caddy Makayla Allen, Henna Blomroos, and Eveliina Salonen.

Scott Stokely is 52 and spent more than a decade away from the pro tour. This week, he’s back at the Las Vegas Challenge. How? Why? And what does he expect will happen? — Plus, another “return” to discuss – the PDGA World Rankings… sort of. Grant and Jen discuss.

Jeff Jacquart tells Grant and Jen how to pronounce his last name. More importantly, he shines a light on what it takes to put on an event like the Las Vegas Challenge, which Jeff has directed for 23 years.

In the international spirit of the Olympics – and to help us respond to a great listener question – Grant and Jen welcome PDGA International Program Director Brian Hoeniger to the podcast for an interesting and insightful look at the PDGA’s global initiatives.

We don’t care what the groundhog forecasts… at PDGA Radio, Spring is already here. Jeff Spring, director of the Disc Golf Pro Tour joins Grant and Jennifer to talk about the upcoming season and the event that will kick it off — the All Star Weekend.

Sarah drove 1,000 miles to join us. Seriously. We talk about her experience making the PDGA Rules School video series (on PDGA.com) and whether or not a pop-up PDGA rule book is a good idea. We answer a listener’s question about a rule (without visual aids). Plus, Sarah’s hidden talent is three seconds you’ll probably replay a few times.

Drew Gibson drops knowledge on disc design (and reveals who would play him in "The Drew Gibson Story" Hollywood blockbuster.) Then Grant and Jen recap what it took to win Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year in 2021 to pump you up for the 2022 season.

FPO touring pro Kona Panis joins Grant and Jen to chat about exciting developments in her career, what she's looking forward to in 2022 and to answer some lightning round "Quick Qs."
