Swiss Bliss
John and Robbie are back together to discuss the recently completed 2026 Women’s World Championships, and how impressive 23 year-old Xenia Schwaller and her Swiss rink’s run to the title was. Rattling off 13 straight wins to capture the title, are they guaranteed to be the sport’s next big thing? We also discuss Kerri Einarson’s silver medal and what the future might hold for that team before we switch into talking about a bunch of team’s futures as the team change news has come fast and furious since the last time we recorded. The men’s picture is starting to take shape and we break down all the teams named there, and we tease where we think the women’s scene might be heading.

A New Sheriff In Town: A Brier Recap
The boys are back in town and there’s a new badge on the Brier trophy as Matt Dunstone captures his first Brier title in St. John’s. We recap all the action from Kevin Koe turning back the clock to Brad Gushue’s emotional retirement, and we give Matt, Colton, and the Harnden brothers their flowers for what was a fantastic week and a particularly fantastic final. Then, we shift our focus to the team changes. Korea’s women’s program goes haywire with almost every player shifting teams, some Canadian teams start to make hints at their plans, and we take a few guesses at where we could see everything ending up over the next month or so as new teams take shape. And finally, in this mega-stuffed episode of the show, we briefly discuss the new Slam formats for next season, with the introduction of the GSOC Invitational and the brand-new Slam Qualifier Events.

The Bronze Age w/ Emma Miskew
It's the Bronze Age in the Homan Empire as Team Homan second Emma Miskew joins John for a wide-ranging interview that covers a variety of topics. We start with their big bronze medal win as Emma takes us inside the Team Homan camp and what it was like facing down 7 must-win games in a row at the Olympics. She details how they dealt with outside noise, getting caught in the “Boopgate” crossfire, and how they rebounded from the semifinal loss to play their best game in the bronze medal matchup against the USA. And then we turn our focus to the Scotties. With the Olympics now in the rearview mirror, Emma speaks candidly about her team’s disappointment in being unable to defend their Scotties title, and what needs to be done over the course of the next quad to ensure the same thing doesn't happen again in 2030.

TWO TIMES!: An Olympic Recap
History was made in Cortina in the 4-person events as a whopping SEVEN players joined curling’s prestigious “Double Gold” club, with Brad Jacobs finding his way atop the podium for Canada to become the nation’s only two-time gold medal-winning skip, and Anna Hasselborg becomes just the second complete team to win two golds, joining her countrymate Anette Norberg in the feat. It was a wild tournament full of twists and turns, some surprise 4th-place finishers, and of course: boopgate. We put a bow on all of that, wonder what it might mean for some of the teams moving forward, and we give a very quick Brier preview to cap it all off.

We have reached the halfway point of the Olympic tournament for both men and women and John and Robbie are here to break down what has been an unexpectedly drama-filled affair. Rachel Homan stumbled out of the blocks but has been gathering momentum. Brad Jacobs, Marc Kennedy, and the Swedes have been tied up in Boopgate. And after that, a lot of your favourites are jostling for playoff positions with a few surprises tucked into the mix as well.

Bella-issima: An Olympic Mixed Doubles Recap
The Mixed Doubles tournament at the Olympics has concluded, and history has been made as Swedish siblings Isabella and Rasmus Wranå stand alone atop the podium at the end of a crazy and chaotic week in Cortina. Rasmus becomes the seventh curler to win a second Olympic gold, Sweden becomes the second nation after Canada to win a gold in all three curling disciplines, and Cory Thiesse becomes the first American woman to win a curling medal. And what a final it was, as Bella put up a 97% stat line to carry the Swedes to the gold in a wonderful game of curling. This week also felt like the breakout party for Korey and Cory stateside and we discuss the discourse around Korey's exuberance. We also take a look at the Bronze Medal game between Italy and Great Britain, and how much it meant for the Italian curlers to win on home soil. And of course, it was a disappointing Olympics on the Mixed Doubles side for Canada, so we give our thoughts on what went wrong and respond to some of the criticism online about Canada's approach and weigh in on where things might have to change moving forward.

Olympic Preview #6: GBR/CAN W & M
In our final preview of the Olympic curling event that gets underway this week, we bring it to the home front and look at Team Homan and Team Jacobs’ chances in Cortina. Brad Jacobs will look to improve on last year’s World Bronze and Rachel Homan is searching for her first success at the Olympics. Standing in Team Jacobs’ way is World #1 Bruce Mouat, who is the defending World champion and has been the World #1 for almost the entirety of this quadrennial. And as one of the lower-ranked teams in the event, can Rebecca Morrison make her mark or is it one quad too early? We’ll take a look at Great Britain’s chances on both sides of the sheet, how much it might affect three of these teams to have some of their players involved in the Mixed Doubles event, and what Canada will need to do right to make the podium in Cortina. Plus, since it is our last preview, John and Robbie do the brave thing and make their final predictions for who ends up with the hardware.

It’s the last Friday before the Olympics begin and we have 8 more teams left to preview. In this 4-pack, we dig into two legitimate medal hopefuls from Switzerland in Team Tirinzoni and Team Schwaller, and two teams hoping to break through into the playoffs in Korea’s Team Gim and Germany’s Team Muskatewitz. Is Team Tirinzoni a legitimate threat to topple Team Homan for gold? Can Team Schwaller continue their hot play of late to find their way onto the podium? Is Team Muskatewitz better than their poor record this year? We answer those questions and more in this penultimate preview!

Kerri'd Away: A Scotties Recap
We take a quick break from our Olympic Preview episodes to recap the 2026 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, a tournament with a lot of drama as Kerri Einarson puts a cap on her quad with a fifth Scotties victory on the back of a shot that will go down as one of the sport’s best ever. We discuss what it means for Kerri and her team heading into both the Worlds and next season, and we also take a look at which of the Scotties rookies (and there were many!) impressed us the most. Plus, it took Kaitlyn Lawes almost the entire quad but she and her team finally delivered their signature performance with an undefeated run to the finals, coming a Kerri miracle shot away from a victory. Where do they go from here? We answer that and more as we take a look at the week that was in Mississauga. This episode is brought to you by Goldline Curling, the Choice of Champions.

Olympic Preview #4: JPN/SWE W, NOR/SWE M
We are back to our regularly-scheduled 4-person team previews and this time around, we are covering two of the teams we think are the most intriguing in the field, and they’re both from the same country: Sweden. Niklas Edin has had a very bumpy quad but he’s the defending Olympic Gold Medallist and he won the Europeans in the fall, so does he still have the juice in what might be his last kick at the can? And on the women’s side, it’s a similar story. Anna Hasselborg won her first major international tournament in 6 years when she won the Euros, but this year has been tough. She’s lost the Swedish Worlds spot to Isabella Wranå and hasn’t had great results outside of the Euros. Can she put it together and add a third medal to her trophy case? And of course, Japan has a long history of success on the women’s side of this event, and so does Norway on the men’s. While neither team is a favourite, will they have the ability to play spoiler?

We are back with our second of six Olympic preview episodes, and this time, we are chatting about 4 teams that are all coming into the Olympics with some question marks. Can the Chinese teams find consistency and repeat their Worlds performances from last year where they both made bronze medal games? Can Joel Retornaz find the form that allowed him to win 3 Slams in a single season just a couple of years ago? And what exactly is going on with the Italian women both on and off the ice? Teams with some wildly different ranges as to where they could finish and lots of intrigue on both sides of the ledger, and we break them all down for you here in extensive fashion, including breaking down their seasons so far, what we think their best and worst finishes could be, and where the analytics peg them.

With Matt, we hear about how things are starting to gel with EJ Harnden at the second stone and how his preternatural connection with Colton Lott has unlocked a new level for this team, how they're approaching the Olympic Trials, and what was going through his mind over the last six years as he tried to find Slam Win #2. He also tells us a great story about failing a trombone test. Then, Danny joins the show to discuss his second Tier 2 victory and how this sets them up for the US Olympic Trials, plus whether or not they feel pressure to succeed despite being the dark horse to take it all and head to Milano with the US flag on their backs. He also tells us about his plans for the next quad, he details his battle with Guillain-Barré Syndrome, and we learn that he is a very, very slow eater.

Coming from opposite ends of the spectrum with Jon being a 12-year veteran of the sport and Chrissy just getting into it within the last few years, the two discuss the upcoming Paralympics, the advancements that have been made in the wheelchair game in the last decade, and whether or not wheelchair curling should have sweepers (probably not) or specialized chairs (maybe). And of course, we dive into the GSOC Wheelchair Invitational itself, as Jon and Chrissy share their excitement for this historic inaugural event, how it will help their Paralympic prep, and what they're most looking forward to in London. Tickets for the GSOC Wheelchair Invitational and the AMJ Masters are available now at .

The AMJ Masters Live Draft w/ John Morris
John Morris teams up with John Cullen for the first-ever World Cup–style “pot draft” ahead of the AMJ Masters this September in London. Just like in soccer, the top 16 seeds are split into four pots, and names are drawn to decide who battles who at the season’s opening Slam. Which group will become the dreaded Group of Death? How will the long-awaited return of China’s men’s and women’s teams play out after nearly a decade away from GSOC? The two Johns break it all down in this special episode.
