Unstable Discourse - A Disc Golf Podcast

The podcast is down a man, as Alex is sick with Covid.  The show must go on, however, so the 'Deucer steps in as the crew embraces the spookiest of seasons and discusses their own top 10 disc golf nightmares.  They reveal a lesser-known real life story about 'Dead Man's Cave', the now defunct dam behind the Canyon's hole 17 long tee pad.  Also, Sheila has just recently ret...

They actually did it!  The crew drove down to the Destination-Penetration course winner and world famous Idlewild Disc Golf Course in Burlington, Kentucky.  They spent two full days taking in the intense and incredible disc golf that the greater Cincinnati area has to offer, as well as consuming some of the area's finest 'chili'.  They stopped at 'The Nati', famed midwest...

On this episode, the guys bring in Disc Golf Chicago's own Eric Savoie and Kevin Derrick to discuss their role in bringing disc golf to the city.  Their persistence with the park districts to be formally recognized as a viable and sustainable solution to preserving nature and allowing city-goers to enjoy green space is truly inspiring.   They get into all the events and tournaments they have...

After an unexpected, but riveting adventure of a lifetime, the guys come back to reality for a more traditional episode.  They talk destination courses, and the Deucer set them up with a sweet-16-style bracket with the top free courses in the world.  Complete with uDisc stats, landmarks, and local attractions, the guys had to work their way through to see which course come out on top.  They also g...

The guys are back baby!  Sluggishly crawling out from their hibernating stasis, they decided to get started on a new season.  At their home in the ever improving CAB, things get rolling quickly as they tackle a topic disc golfers annually deliberate - renewing PDGA memberships.  What do you get for your money?  What happens when you don't renew?  Is the PDGA doing enough and what could they d...

The guys sat down to wrap things up with a nice bow, and admittedly late enough that it could be given away for Christmas.   It was a whirlwind of a season, but they managed to stick to their ol' tried and true format.  As is tradition, they recap the season by doing a quick synopsis of memorable moments from each episode.   Sean cries over holiday moments past and present, and Alex cries ove...

FINALLY.  56 days later.  The guys return to the CAB for another 'casting sesh and catch up with each other and find out what the hell has been happening these last few weeks.  Show format is completely thrown out the window in an uncontrolled chaos filled episode.  Segments are jumbled around, omitted, turned upside down, cats and dogs, living together... mass hysteria!  Also, Lauren Lakeber...

The guys welcome Leo 'Doc' Borowski back to discuss the events surrounding the once-again wildly successful 'Clash at the Canyons' tournament.  They get into how the tournament has turned into such a well-oiled machine - from the early planning stages, literally a year prior, to the ongoing work throughout the year, to the massive undertakings that had to be dealt with in the w...
