This week the show welcomes Kerri Einarson! Join us as we talk about her new team, the very busy end to last season, her curling background, and more!!

We're back after a bit of a break to discuss the latest news in the world of curling. From Sportsnet and CBC signing a new deal with the Slams to the new high performance program at Curling Canada to the sport going to a single rulebook, we go around the sport to catch up on all the goings on.

To say 2026 has been a rollercoaster of a year for Aussie curlers Tahli Gill and Dean Hewitt might be the biggest understatement we can make on this podcast. From the crushing low of missing out on qualification for the 2026 Olympics to the incredible high of claiming Australia’s first-ever curling world championship months later, it has been one hell of a year for the nation’s golden curling pair. But how are they feeling after such a whirlwind of emotional moments since we last spoke to them? Does winning a world title make up for the Olympic disappointment? And how much has such a defining year shaped their future as they push to return to sport’s biggest stage? In another incredible chat with two of our favourite guests, we hear from Tahli and Dean on everything the past year has brought them, as they open up like never before. It’s another amazing conversation you won’t want to miss!

Broomstacking's first interview with none other than Bruce Mouat! Join us as we talk about his new team, the Olympics, Rock League, and more!!

We’ve got a genuine OLYMPIAN on the sofa this week. Can you ruddy believe it!? It’s World Champion curler Bruce Mouat! We sip a bubbly little prosecco whilst Bruce educates us on curling, how to get into it, what the hammer is. Also we learn about the scandalous behaviour in the olympic village. And Sam comes up with some new terms for common curling moves. Look out for them at the Winter Olympics 2030!

Two-time Olympic gold medallist Brad Jacobs joins Connected North for an honest conversation about elite competition, entrepreneurship and the habits required to succeed at the highest level.

Fresh off winning Olympic gold in Italy, Brad takes us inside the journey, from discovering curling at ten years old and developing what he calls a “healthy obsession,” to managing pressure, overcoming distractions and helping his family witness an unforgettable Olympic moment.

Brad also shares how he built a career in financial services while continuing to compete professionally. He opens up about balancing tournaments, business and family, stepping away from the sport to rediscover his love for the game, and why having control over his time and future became so important.

It's the midst of the summer, which is the perfect time for a listicle! We're looking at 12 events that are no longer part of the curling calendar of giving our rather subjective rankings of them. From how good they were to how much we miss them to how original they were, join us for this stroll down a curling memory lane.

Today on Rock Stars, we take you inside our unfiltered breakdown of the very first Rock League event. We share what stood out most to us and why this feels like a meaningful step forward for the sport.

We also don't shy away from what needs work, from in-venue attendance to rule experiments that didn't quite land. This episode is about more than the event, it's about where curling is headed and why trying something new matters. Before you go, we want to know: what was your first impression of Rock League and did it live up to the hype for you? Leave us a comment with your thoughts and questions and subscribe to the podcast for more. We'll see you next time!

Joel, Mike and Craig chat with 3 time world champion Brent Laing. Tune in to find out about steaks, the Brier, chicken names and more. Make sure to make it all the way to the end to find out about Quandell Dinglefingers.

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.

Welcome back to Rock Stars! We get asked all the time how we manage the chaos of our lives, so today, we're sharing how we stay motivated, happy, and fulfilled. Between the kids' activities, our entrepreneurial ventures, and traveling for curling, it takes a solid team to keep everything in our lives running smoothly. Our secret? A little bit of flexibility, a lot of communication, and the help of some incredible family members (shout out to Grandma Carol!).

The key to our full life is living it by design, with intention and a clear focus on what truly matters: family, passion, and always striving to be better. We know there's always room for growth and adventure ahead, and we can't wait to see where it takes us.

In this episode of Rock Stars, we're diving into the exciting launch of Rock League, the first-ever multi-gender curling league. We reflect on the journey curling has taken, from the early days of the Grand Slams to where the sport stands today. We discuss how pivotal players and moments in curling history shaped the growth of the game, and how Rock League is set to elevate it even further. From increased sponsorships to the inclusion of women in the Grand Slams, we're seeing a massive shift in how curling is viewed, and we couldn't be more excited about it.

We also talk about what makes Rock League a game-changer: the rule changes, the shorter, faster matches, and the overall fan experience. With some of the best players in the world coming together, this isn't just about curling, it's about creating an experience like no other. We can't wait to see how it all unfolds and how Rock League will help grow the game even more. If you loved this episode, leave us a comment or review and subscribe to keep up with all the action!
