Kristi Allain (researcher & narrator), with Stephanie Dotto (writer) and Cory McKechnie (editor)
Although Canadians are becoming demographically older, the athletes we see on TV and in stadiums are eternally youthful and fit. Curling was one important exception, where ordinary-looking men and women in their 30s, 40s, and even 50s could excel on an international level. But that changed in 2014, when Team Brad Jacobs broke onto the scene as youthful curlers with bulging muscles and an “agro” attitude. This podcast returns to the local curling rink, to ask the older men who form the heart of these curling clubs how they feel about the changes in Canadian curling.
