Welcome to Inside Curling season number five....this
is our first official show of the 2024 – ’25 season and
we have a lot of things to cover.
When we did our summer show in August we
announced that Inside Curling is no longer part of
Sportsnet and have moved over to Acast. We would
again like to thank everyone at Sportsnet for the three
great years we spent with the network. Also, in
addition to kevin, Warren and Jim we would like to
welcome our technical producer for the third year,
Mike Rogerson along with Rod Palson who is doing
our social media for the fifth year, mainly Face Book
and X (Twitter) but once we are into the season we
are also going to branch into Instagram and Tik Tok
more than we have in the past. In this coming season
we will have clips, segments and some interviews on
You Tube.
Here is what is on the show today’s show…
What’s Happening Around the Curling World?
World Curling concluded it’s annual
Curling Congress in Montreal on September 8 th and

place.
A number of smaller spiels have already
happened and this weekend in Cornwall, Ontario

its 150 anniversary gathering in Ottawa,
September 8 – 12…We announced the Showdown at the
Saville on our show in August and we will bring
you up-to-date on what is happening with the

Hot Rocks Topics, During the World Curling meetings some
interesting discussions were brought up regarding
rules enforcement by some retired athletes and
coaches who were present….you will be surprised
at what they had to say….
The issue of 8 ends versus 10 wasn’t on the
agenda...wasn’t even discussed…what would
be the reason for that?
In The House, Brad Jacobs is now the skip of the old
Brendan Bottcher team and Brad will be with us to
talk about the up coming season.
Mailbag, Even though it is summer we are
getting emails and we will review one.
What Are You Hearing, Brianne Harris, lead on team Einarson
was suspended from all competition at the end of
February because of a banned substance detected in a
sample taken on January 24 th . A-B sample was taken
in early March and the substance Ligandrol was
detected again. Harris has been suspended since but
this week on Face Book a posting was made bringing
everyone up to speed on the situation - we will take a
