John sits down with Rachel Homan, the two-time defending world champ and captain of one of Canada’s Rock League teams. There’s lots to discuss after a busy summer as Rachel talks about preparing for an Olympic year, how Tracy Fleury has been such a great fit for her as a skip, and whether or not she wants to keep going after this quad, Olympic result or not. And of course there’s room for a little summer silliness as Rachel recounts the story of an unfortunate text from John at the Players Championship, whether or not she’s used the Key to the City of Ottawa, and Rachel’s son Ryatt makes a guest appearance.

John sits down with Korey Dropkin amidst his preparation for the US Pancontinental Playoff to discuss the US talent pool, the potential changing of the guard after this quad, how winning a spot at the Olympics in Mixed Doubles has allowed him to play more free, and the secret to the success he had this past season and how that might lead to success in the future. Oh, and we definitely discuss his blond hair.

Chattin' With a Captain #1: Brad Jacobs
It's the first in our summer series here on the Broom Brothers, as John plans to sit down with every Rock League captain over the course of the next six weeks, with an episode slated to release every Thursday. First up, it's one of the Canadian captains, Brad Jacobs! Brad shows up with the Brier Tankard in tow to give John an update on his mechanical bull injury and where his summer training is at, why he thinks he'd make a good Rock League captain, his plans for the future after this season, and why this version of himself is the best version of Brad Jacobs we've ever seen.
It's the official podcast of the Grand Slam of Curling! John Cullen (Broomgate) and Robbie Doherty (Sportsnet) bring you the latest in curling news, gossip, and interviews with players like you've never seen before.
