“I’m a big curling fan and while I was watching when this happened I never know the inner workings. Super interesting. Love this kind of CBC content.”

“Being an American, my only exposure to curling is on TV every four years during the Olympics, and I find it oddly fascinating.
This story might just be the most Canadian thing I’ve ever encountered…and I mean that in a good way. That the athletes and equipment manufacturers put their heads...”Read full review »

“This was a great podcast. I decided to give it a shot even though I knew nothing about curling and am glad I did. The episodes weren’t to long and were entertaining and easy to understand. The whole show wasn’t too long either. Great show”

“How embarrassing for a “competitive sport” to not have equipment standards. The “gentlemen” running the game were just naive and stupid. The stones had weight standards - why not the brooms? Dah.”

“Great job John and your team….as a curling fan it was great to hear the full story from those that were there. Loved the humour and yet at the heart of it, remembering that the love of the game is what makes the sport so great.”

“Entertaining and interesting, to be sure. But one of the (many) appeals of curling is the fantastic gender balance - Canadian women regularly crush in curling. But they apparently had no involvement in or even opinion about this drama (apart from occasionally passing along thoughts as wives of...”Read full review »

“It was not illuminated that Broomgate e.g. (which has been a good listen) requires a subscription after listening for free to the first four of five episodes. Then it just ends after four, have to go look out to again only to find the final episode is subscriber only. Nope, why not tell me before...”Read full review »

“I found Broomgate right when I needed it... my normal go-to true crime and politics podcasts were grinding me down, but not to the point of turning to total positivity. As an American, I actually learned about a sport that I've known of, but knew nothing about for years. The interviews and...”Read full review »

“You can’t help but wish the next episode was already here! Broomgate has drama, interviews from your favourite curlers, comedic moments and spills the tea on a real life controversy. It’s a great Canadian sports story for curling and sports fans alike! More like this please!”

“An interesting story about about a controversial piece of equipment that disrupted a popular winter (and Olympic) sport.
Lots has been said about juiced baseballs, the NFL’s deflategate and swimming’s super suits, but John Cullen’s Broomgate is the first definitive look at a time when a new...”Read full review »
