Inside Curling is back! Brad Jacobs is in the house to talk about the 2024/25 season
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…

Curling Congress in Montreal on September 8 th and

September 8 – 12…We announced the Showdown at the

you up-to-date on what is happening with the
Showdown.
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?

Brendan Bottcher team and Brad will be with us to

getting emails and we will review one.

sample taken on January 24 th . A-B sample was taken
in early March and the substance Ligandrol was
