From balancing careers with dog care, to the challenges of training, to the unbreakable bond they share with their furry friend, guests reveal a side of themselves usually reserved for living rooms and dog parks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a show about people, but dogs are running the room,\u201d Horowitz said in a statement. \u201cThere\u2019s something about having your dog on your lap or panting loudly that brings out the truth. It\u2019s part interview, part hang, part therapy, and occasionally a bark-filled mess \u2013 in a nutshell it\u2019s everything I love.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As a runner, each episode \u201cends with a thought experiment about the dog-inspired business the guest would launch if they had to invent one. The responses may be lofty, such as a dog detective service or noise-cancelling earmuffs for pups, but dreaming up clever, dog-first ideas is what BARK does best.\u201d According to company lore, BARK began when \u201cCEO and co-founder Matt Meeker couldn\u2019t find a fun, creative toy for his Great Dane, Hugo, so he created BarkBox. Later, when faced with the challenge of flying with Hugo, Meeker dreamt of BARK Air. That same problem-solving spirit now fuels\u00a0\u2018Who\u2019s A Good Guest?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Taking things once step further, each week on the show, BARK will bring the guest\u2019s business idea to life \u201cas a satirical pop-up brand, complete with microsites and visuals.\u201d While the joke is fun, BARK is committed to something very real, with \u201cevery visit and engagement with the pop-up brand sites triggers meal donations to dogs in need through\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bark.co\/products\/belly-food-chicken-ancient-grains\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BARK in the Belly<\/a>, BARK\u2019s charitable food line.\u201d That is very good indeed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt BARK, our connection with dog people has always been strongest when we bring the same creative energy we put into our products to our content and entertainment,\u201d said Dave Stangle, VP of Brand Activation at BARK. \u201cThis series is a continuation of that mindset. It\u2019s unguarded. It\u2019s ridiculous. And it\u2019s a reminder that even celebrities are picking up their dog\u2019s poop at 7 a.m.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho\u2019s a Good Guest?\u201d is produced by BARK and Horowitz, with production support from HOFF Studios. \u201cHappy Sad Confused,\u201d Horowitz\u2019s more human-focused podcast, has amassed over 200 million views and 750 million impressions across audio, YouTube and social media, with dozens of actors and filmmakers sharing secrets from their process. Horowitz is also the proud dog dad to Lucy, a very good girl.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-the-wrap-read-more\">\n<div class=\"the-wrap-read-more__container\">\n\t\t<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"the-wrap-read-more__image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thewrap.com\/media-platforms\/tv\/netflix-podcasts-january-2026\/\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thewrap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/NetflixPodcasts.png?fit=300%2C169&amp;quality=80&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thewrap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/NetflixPodcasts.png?w=1200&amp;quality=80&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thewrap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/NetflixPodcasts.png?resize=300%2C169&amp;quality=80&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thewrap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/NetflixPodcasts.png?resize=1024%2C576&amp;quality=80&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thewrap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/NetflixPodcasts.png?resize=768%2C432&amp;quality=80&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thewrap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/NetflixPodcasts.png?resize=320%2C180&amp;quality=80&amp;ssl=1 320w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thewrap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/NetflixPodcasts.png?resize=640%2C360&amp;quality=80&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thewrap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/NetflixPodcasts.png?resize=380%2C214&amp;quality=80&amp;ssl=1 380w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thewrap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/NetflixPodcasts.png?resize=760%2C428&amp;quality=80&amp;ssl=1 760w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thewrap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/NetflixPodcasts.png?resize=394%2C222&amp;quality=80&amp;ssl=1 394w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thewrap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/NetflixPodcasts.png?resize=788%2C444&amp;quality=80&amp;ssl=1 788w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thewrap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/NetflixPodcasts.png?resize=778%2C438&amp;quality=80&amp;ssl=1 778w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thewrap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/NetflixPodcasts.png?resize=976%2C549&amp;quality=80&amp;ssl=1 976w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thewrap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/NetflixPodcasts.png?resize=990%2C557&amp;quality=80&amp;ssl=1 990w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" data-portal-copyright=\"TheWrap\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\"\/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.thewrap.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You\u2019ve seen him host red carpets and talk to countless A-list celebrities.
