Happy New Year, from Inside Curling. We start 2025 off with a special show!

Happy New Year and greetings again everyone and welcome to this Special Edition of Inside Curling. Right now in Liverpool, Nova Scotia we are getting close to the end of an event that will determine Canada’s Mixed Doubles representative at the 2025 World Mixed Doubles Championship in Fredericton, NB This team will also represent Canada at the Olympics in 2026 in Italy if Canada qualifies and we will explain. Yet, another curling team has made a change and this time on the women’s side of things as Team Chelsea Carey announced a change in it’s lineup for the balance of the year. This team was already qualified for the Scotties might that be impacted we will explain. On our show we announced a few weeks ago that the brushing wars were coming into the forefront again when one manufacturer announced they were coming out with a new broom using a foam that had previously been determined to be not acceptable. Last week, our sponsor Goldline announced it is now producing a new broom that will be known as the Pursuer with a similar type of foam being used and apparently Hard Line, the third big player in the game is in the process of doing the same thing what is happening here do we have the start of another Broomgate?

Great insight and stories

I like the content on the podcast and all the insights I to the game along with all the stories. I like how they are able to get a variety of guests on the podcast to hear their perspectives. One improvement would be less repetition of topics. It seems like they mention one topic and it drags on for about a month with repeating the same facts. Instead of rehashing the topic, I would love to hear about new insights/issues/interviews. I like the episodes where they interview someone who is doing something neat at the club as it is always interesting to hear what other clubs are doing to get more people curling.
Great podcast.

Love this show. Enjoy Kevin and Warren. Jim Jerome is very annoying and sometimes comes across a bit aloof about the sport. And is not as funny as he thinks he is! All in all good show. Will give 5 stars when JJ is no longer the host!

I’m a huge curling fan. This is such a terrible listen. The analysis is so simplistic and often uninformed (I’ll find myself hearing them say things that are untrue or out of date), and they repeat each other thinking it is hilarious. The WAY INSIDE pod hosted by John Cullen was the only good part, and apparently they’ve cut that. I’ll be done listening to this.
