  • Amazing!

    I am a huge curling nerd and upon finishing broomgate, had no other curling podcast to listen to.

    My dad suggested this to me a couple months ago and from the first episode I was obsessed. I love the humour, commentary and player interviews and can’t wait for more episodes. John and Robbie, you ROCK! 🥌 keep ‘em coming!

    Ps. Get some more northern spirit on the show; Yukon, NWT, Nunavut. As a northerner I would love some representation on this awesome pod.
