This is the season trailer, not the full Best Dam Tape episode. Season 14 launches October 4 on WORLD Channel and PBS.org. Logan Cuvo and Best Dam Tape are featured in Episode 1403, premiering October 18, 2026.
Behind the cameras with Logan Cuvo
Bringing a film crew into our world meant letting viewers see more than the tape. Our episode offers a closer look at Logan's life running Best Dam Tape and the personal story behind building the business. The official episode page describes a founder learning to adapt and take a different path.
These photos capture moments from filming: Logan sitting down for an interview surrounded by hockey sticks, and the crew recording a conversation beside the rink's locker rooms. It's a look at the work that goes into telling the story, before the finished episode reaches your screen.
A spotlight on small and family-run businesses
Small businesses have people at their center. For family-run Best Dam Tape, sharing this story is a chance to put faces to the name and show why the work matters to us. Our customers help make that story possible, one order, recommendation, and conversation at a time.
START UP gives founders room to explain their journeys in their own words. We're excited to be part of a season that introduces viewers to the people building businesses in their communities.
