Eve Muirhead is BACK!
Eve Muirhead is returning to competitive curling to play mixed doubles with Bobby Lammie, and she sits down with John to discuss it all. We learn why now is the right time, why she didn’t keep playing with Bobby after they won the 2022 World Mixed Doubles championship, what drove her to want to return, and what she hopes to achieve over the next four years (which she also announces she is committed to!). John also asks her about her Rock League experience and what she loved and didn’t love about Season 1, with a look ahead to her reprising her role as Alpine CC’s GM in Season 2.

Lighting a Fire: Why Grant Hardie Left Team Mouat
We said we would only be back in case of emergency, and there’s no question the #1 team in the world undergoing a change is such a case. Grant Hardie joins John to discuss shaking up the Scottish curling scene, as he moves to skip his own rink with Ross Whyte throwing fourth stone, and Robin Brydone goes the other way to join Team Mouat. After nine years, two Olympic silvers, and two World titles, Grant explains why it was time to move on from Team Mouat, and his desire for a new challenge reigning above the easy choice to stick with the program. We discuss why it was the right time, why he wants to return to skipping, the difficult phone call with his cousin Hammy McMillan, and Ross Whyte’s emergence on the world stage allowing for this move. It’s a conversation you won’t want to miss. This episode is brought to you by Goldline Curling. For all of your curling needs, please visit

Putting a Bow On It
John and Robbie convene for one last time to do a final curling news round-up, and who knew we’d be talking about a May that would be this busy? Niklas Edin announces retirement, Brad Gushue heads south of the border, Australia nets its first-ever World Curling medal, and a bunch of team change news all happened in the last few weeks, and we get to the bottom of it all. It’s a been a long and great season and we put it all to rest in this one. A special thank you to you, the listener, for supporting us all season long.

Heading South w/ Brad Gushue
It's an emergency podcast of sorts as we managed to snag a one-on-one with Brad Gushue, the brand new High Performance Director of USA Curling, on the eve of his first trip to the States in his official role. It was news that came as a bit of a shock to the curling world when it was announced yesterday, and we ask Brad all about it, from how the role came to be his, why he chose to come back into the curling world so soon after retiring from competitive play, and why he made the decision to lead the USA's program after so many years representing Canada at the highest level.

On the Mark w/ Ideson and Nichols
John is joined for a two-pack of interviews with two men who have had quite the last few months, Paralympic gold medal-winning skip Mark Ideson and Matt Dunstone’s new second, Mark Nichols. Mark Ideson is up first, and him and John discuss why this Paralympics was the most memorable of his career, how wheelchair curling continues to grow, Rock League, and of course, that final shot of the Paralympics that secured the gold medal for Canada. Then Mark Nichols joins the show to run down his incredibly busy year, right from the moment he found out his long-time teammate Brad Gushue was retiring until now, where he finds himself joining the reigning Canadian champions, Team Matt Dunstone. He reveals how close he was to actually retiring himself, what is keeping him motivated to keep playing, and what intrigues him about the partnership with Matt.

Sweeping Changes w/ Pete Townshend
Now that the craziness from Rock League has died down, John and Robbie reconvene to discuss all the team changes they missed over the last few weeks. And there was a lot! From Mark Nichols joining Matt Dunstone all the way to the Middaugh family becoming a curling team, we talk through just about every major change and give our opinion on it all. And speaking of changes, Goldline CEO Pete Townshend then joins the show to discuss their new sponsorship model. Curling fans have questions and Pete has answers about how their new merit-based system is going to work, what it means for every tier of the game (including juniors!) and why they feel it's the best move for both Goldline and the game of curling itself.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Marc is up first to discuss how it felt a bit different this time, why Brad Jacobs and Brett Gallant are performing better now than they ever have been, how exactly he's managed to get to 4 Olympic Games, and how this might shift his plans for next year and beyond. Then we bring Paul back on the podcast after his wonderful appearance last year to give us some insight on why he thinks Team Jacobs practices better than any team, how his coaching has involved managing masculinity, and the challenges that the Cortina portion of the Olympics will bring.

The BBs On Trial(s)
Thankfully there's no judge and jury here but Robbie and John go long on the recently-completed Canadian Olympic Trials, with something to say about every team in the field. We discuss how Rachel Homan dealt with the immense pressure of being the top dog to find her way to Cortina, Christina Black's charmed run to the women's final, Team Jacobs' two-year ascent to the top of Canadian curling, and everyone and everything else in between. And of course, we also pay tribute to the curling world's dear departed friend, Colleen Jones. This episode is brought to you by our brand-new title sponsor, Goldline!

The Trials and Tribulations of Trials
John and Robbie are back and there's a ton in the curling world to discuss so we go long as we dive into Danny Casper's "upset" win at the US Olympic Trials, what it will take for him to win at the OQE, and what this might mean for John Shuster and Korey Dropkin's future. We also chat about the week that was in Lake Tahoe for the first-ever Grand Slam on American soil, and we preview the Canadian Olympic Trials as our nation's best prepare to enter the gauntlet they've spent the last 4 years preparing for.
