    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 goldlinecurling.com

    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. It's been a wild ride with all the Slams, Olympics, and Rock League coverage, and you've been amazing all year-round. We appreciate it so much and we'll see you back here in the fall (and maybe in the summer once or twice if something crazy happens). And a thank you as always to Goldline Curling for presenting this episode and a bunch of episodes throughout the season. Couldn't have done it without you!

    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. This episode is brought to you by Goldline Curling.

    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.

    Managing, Generally Pt. 2 w/ Howard, Rycroft, and Svae

    In Part 2 of our chats with the Rock League GMs, John sits down with Maple United's Glenn Howard, Shield Curling Club's Carter Rycroft, and Northern United's Christoffer Svae. John starts with Glenn, who played in a pro league once and gets the inside scoop on how that compares to now and why the Rachel Homan/Xenia Schwaller pairing is exciting for both the team and curling in general. Then we find out what Carter and Bompi have been up to for the last few years, how Carter prepared to get involved at the highest levels of the game again, and why Bompi thinks entertainment is just as important as winning in Rock League.
