  • Best. Curling Podcast. Ever.

    This is the best curling podcast out there. No other podcast about curling comes close. Love the interviews, news breakdowns, and coverage of the big curling events. Plus Robbie and John are incredible hosts!

  • 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.
