StoneCast interviews Baron Matt Heile and Lord Ryan Claussen of the Sealand Curling team.

StoneCast returns with a roar! This week, we're joined by Dr. Carlin "Carly" Anderson, sports psychologist for the Shuster rink. Dr. Carlin was there through all of the 2018 historic Olympic run (and even came back with an injury to prove it). She answers a few questions about mental strategies for amateur sports (such as league curling), how to learn, burn and return, and how to recognize when your mental game needs a boost. She also shares a few stories about how she became a psychologist (Fixin' to Go Out!). Enjoy the show.

In the middle of June, Jordan flew to Seattle for the annual Granite Curling Club Summer Spiel. Hosted by Todd Schultz and GCC president Phil Shryock, the Summer Spiel was three days of World Cup-themed curling and excellent, excellent food. Northwest Correspondent Geoff Ujdur skipped the team and joined Jordan with Todd and Phil late before their Saturday match in StoneCast's first Field Notes. After two long days of spieling, the conversation covers a brief history of the GCC, the polyamorous scene in Seattle, "that guy" at every bonspiel, "the pig incident," and more. Thanks to Todd and Phil for taking some time once things were underway. Note: Field Notes #1 was recorded using an old digital recorder and not the finer StoneCast equipment. Volume may vary a bit.

We interview Lisa Rudolph and discuss the formation of the newest curling club in the Twin Cities, The Richfield Curling Club.
