Brier Recap & Women's Worlds Preview

As the Season of Champions rolls along, we look back at what was a fun Brier out in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. From Brad Gushue's final game to Team Jacobs running out of gas to a Kevin Koe renaissance to Matt Dunstone getting over the hump, there was a lot going on at the 2026 Brier and we recap it all. From there (42:05) we look ahead to the 2026 Women's World Curling Championship, which starts Saturday in Calgary. We talk about all 13 teams in the field - many of which are different from those that played at the Olympics - and make our picks for who will emerge from a wide open field.
