A catalog record, not a revived show.

Public catalog identity

Podcast directories identify a show titled HearthCoach: Hearthstone Coaching and associate it with the names Dan and FRID. The catalog framing was coaching and strategy discussion about Hearthstone. The directory evidence places the show in a run beginning around early 2015 and ending with episode 260 on February 23, 2020.

This page does not expand those names into biographies, current affiliations, endorsements, or statements. It does not claim that directory metadata is a complete history. Its purpose is to help a reader recognize why an old link or search result may mention a podcast when the current project presents a study library.

The historical title is retained only inside this clearly labelled record. The active editorial identity is Decision Fieldbook. Site navigation, page voice, design, source policy, and learning materials use the new identity and do not imitate the former show's tone or format.

What the surviving URL structure suggests

The public archive inventory contains a large set of podcast paths and a smaller set of resources and community surfaces. Slugs show recurring subject clusters such as deck and matchup discussion, coaching, tools for tracking play, interviews, tournament preparation, and later-game modes. This describes the shape of the catalog, not the exact content or quality of an episode.

Several paths appear repeatedly in archive records, including the podcast feed and site-level community pages. Capture count can indicate that a URL was persistent or frequently revisited, but it is not a measure of audience, backlink value, authority, or rights. Decision Fieldbook does not turn archive frequency into a marketing claim.

The most coherent continuity lies in the broad educational intent: helping people think about play. The new library develops that intent independently through written study frameworks. It does not summarize old recordings, reconstruct episode arguments, adopt named guests as authorities, or present the new lessons as derived from the former show.

What is not preserved

No audio file, transcript, show note, episode description, quotation, cover image, logo, theme music, advertisement, sponsor reference, mailing list, comment, account, or player identifier has been copied into this package. The site does not offer a player directory, coaching marketplace, store, membership, or continuation of any old commercial arrangement.

The episode index contains only three records that have both an archived path and a separate public directory record. It includes the minimum metadata needed to explain the old URL. It does not embed or link to unverified copies of the recording. Every other old episode path remains outside the index unless a later review can establish its exact identity and an explicit editorial reason to retain it.

This approach sacrifices apparent completeness for truthfulness. A partial index with clear evidence is safer than a polished archive that quietly invents continuity or depends on material the operator does not own.

• No media or verbatim former-site text.
• No artwork, logos, visual identity, or product presentation.
• No personal, listener, community, or account records.
• No host or guest voice, endorsement, or current-status claim.
• No inherited store, subscription, coaching, or sponsor obligation.

How to read this record

Each factual paragraph names source identifiers in the page evidence footer. The sources page gives the public URL, publisher, access date, and the limited purpose for which the source is used. Directory sources corroborate catalog metadata. Archive sources establish visible URLs and date windows. Neither class proves present domain ownership or private relationships.

If a public record changes or disappears, the historical sentence should be reviewed against another source. If a person named by a public catalog raises a privacy or impersonation concern, the narrow fact can be removed without dismantling the independence record. The purpose is clarity for readers, not preservation at any cost.

Readers looking for current strategy should leave the history section and use the learning library. Readers following an old URL can use the bounded episode index to understand what kind of record once occupied it. The two paths meet only at the disclosure that the projects are distinct.
