“Getting punched in the face? It's the fastest way to learn what you're made of.” In this episode, Michael Dargie sits down with Maeghen Cotterill, a professional martial artist, psychic channeler, and intuitive coach. Maeghen has been immersed in martial arts since she was eight years old and built one of Canada's most successful dojos. She earned 11 world titles, founded Rising Phoenix Martial Arts, led Team Canada, and brought the world championships to Calgary—all while confronting abuse, disillusionment, and burnout. But after checking every box she'd ever set for herself, Maeghen did something unimaginable—she walked away from it all. This episode is sponsored by my new book BRANDJITSU, helping you find, shape, and share your story with the world. What follows is a deeply honest conversation about identity, masks, and the courage it takes to burn everything down to rebuild a life with more joy, authenticity, and play. She reflects on blending the fierce discipline of martial arts with the gentler power of intuition, and how she finally found peace in the integration of both. We learn what it means to really get punched in the face—literally and metaphorically—and how those experiences can forge strength, humility, and insight. Maeghen shares stories of breaking barriers, surviving the underbelly of competitive sport, and discovering that softness can be as powerful as strength. Whether you're a rebel in waiting or someone who's already mid-pivot, Maeghen's journey is a powerful reminder that you can do more than one thing—and you can always choose again. Quotable Quotes “I wanted to be the role model I didn't have.” – Maeghen Cotterill “My masks have come off. My identity is becoming less and less important.” – Maeghen Cotterill “Getting punched in the face? It's the fastest way to learn what you're made of.” – Maeghen Cotterill “You don't eat the elephant all at once—you take one bite at a time.” – Maeghen Cotterill “Sometimes we're just doing stuff because we think we should. But we actually don't want to.” – Michael Dargie Episode Highlights Life After Burnout | Maeghen shares how she blew up her life to follow her intuition Childhood Vision | She knew at 8 years old she wanted to teach martial arts Style Shifts | Transitioning through Gōjū-ryū, Kung Fu, and Shotokan Karate Martial Arts as Healing | Finding regulation through practice Starting Rising Phoenix | How she opened her first dojo at 23 Proving Herself | Winning 11 world titles across 8 divisions Hosting World Championships | Bringing 3,000 competitors to Calgary Getting Punched | Why everyone should feel it at least once Mentorship | Shoutout to Ed Straugh and Faisal Karmali New Joy | Lazy mornings, frequency music, and ugly-cry friendships Realization | Making decisions from fear vs. choosing peace Cobra Kai & Mortal Kombat | Why realistic representation matters Favourite Move | Lead leg sidekick to the face Disordered Eating | The darker side of competition Favourite Travel | Feeling at home in Germany and Austria Advice for Rebels | Start with unicorns and rainbows, then build LINKS FROM EPISODE Beyond the Black Belt (https://beyondtheblackbelts.com) Maeghen on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/ninjagirlmma?igsh=MW8zcDlycTV1NHAxeg==) Get Your Copy of Michael's Book: "BrandJitsu™: Move Your Brand From 'Meh' To Memorable" Indigo | Barnes & Noble | MichaelDargie.com

The World Women's Curling Championship is now down to two teams! We review what's happened and preview the big final. There are two Canadian Championships starting tomorrow and the guys will also take a look at what we can expect there.Inside Curling is hosted by Kevin Martin, Warren Hansen and Jim Jerome. Recorded, Edited and Mixed by Mike Rogerson.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

We look at the somewhat underwhelming Canadian Nationals 2024 event, with surprise wins from Wesley Chiu and Kaiya Ruiter (except we predicted that one!), and flawed performances from gold-winning favorites Stellato-Dudek & Deschamps and Gilles & Poirier.   Canadian Nationals 2024 Commentary and Analysis The 2024 Canadian National Championships in Calgary saw some great performances, but unfortunately quite a few more disappointments. From the highs of Piper Gilles & Paul Poirier winning their third national title, to the struggles of many of the favorites in the men's and women's competitions, it was a challenging event that suffered (but sustained) through low attendance, no broadcast parter, and sub-zero temperatures. Ice Dance Competition As the marquee event of the National Championships, there was certainly pressure on the top teams to perform well — and Piper Gilles & Paul Poirier met that challenge to take their third national title. Their rhythm dance was a bit tighter than usual here, but their free dance continues to evolve and get stronger, which bodes well for them going into Four Continents and the World Championships. With the withdrawals of both Lawrence Fournier-Beaudry & Nikolaj Sorensen and Marjorie Lajiois & Zak Lagha, the door was open for two other fantastic Canadian dance teams — Marie-Jade Lauriault & Romain Le Gac and Alicia Fabbri & Paul Ayer — to take their respective and well-earned podium spots. Men's Competition Wesley Chiu threw down a great short program, which helped sustain him through a nervous free skate and bolster him to win his first national title. The silver and bronze medalists, Aleksa Rakic and Anthony Paradis, were both a bit surprising. Paradis, who is just 16 years old, showed remarkable artistic ability and professionalism through an equipment malfunction to land on the podium — which may have been the highlight of the whole comp. Coming into this event, three of the favorites were Conrad Orzel, Stephen Gogolev, and — returning to competition after a year — former Canadian National Champ, Roman Sadovsky. All three men had rough short programs that pushed them far down in the standings. Gogolev had to withdraw due to injury before the long, and neither Orzel nor Sadovsky were able to recover well enough to make the podium. Pairs Competition As expected, the remarkable team of Deanna Stellato-Dukek & Maxime Dechamps retained their national title — but it was not easy. Their short program had more errors than they typically see, still landing them in first but only barely. However, in their free program, they skated mostly clean and polished after messy side-by-side jumps to easily take the victory. In second, the on-the-rise team of Lia Pereira & Trennt Michaud had a solid short program to stay close. After a less stellar free skate, the team comfortably landed in the silver spot ahead of Kelly Ann Laurin & Loucas Éthier. Womens Competition This discipline saw the upset of the event with 17 year-old Kaiya Ruiter taking her first national title. While her short program was not what she'd hoped for, Kaiya came back with a strong free skate that put her well ahead of the expected winner, Madeline Schizas. Schizas had a solid short program, but struggled with her jumps and her energy on the ice during the free skate. The result was disappointing, but should keep Maddie's spot on the World team assured. In third, the young Hetty Shi skated well enough to take second in the free skate behind Kaiya and end up with her first senior national medal.

Simone Plourde may be new to the professional scene, but how she races and handles everything running would make you think she has been in the sport for decades. Simone Plourde rose to recognition quickly in the NCAA while at the University of Utah. She finished 4th in the 3000m at NCAA Indoors, Pac-12 champion over 1500m, and earned All-American honors in the outdoor 5000m. It wasn't a perfect final year for the NCAA, but it was a perfect year for her to transition into the professional ranks, signing with Nike and UAC. Her summer consisted of a podium finish at the Canadian Championships and representing Team Canada in Budapest at the World Championships. Even after the long year, she lowered her 1500m PR to 4:06. Simone is well-spoken and articulate in how she talks about running, but not in the way you might think. She is a refreshing listen and we are sure her mindset and monologues will make you a fan of hers ahead of the Paris 2024. Topics of the Episode include: - Introduction to running and NCAA system/transfering Universities - Decision to leave NCAA early - Exceeding all expectations in 2023 - First World Championship experience - Nike/UAC - Fan Submitted - BanterBowl Disclaimer: Audio quality is lower than in previous episodes as Dave forgot his microphone cord and headphones but ordered a new set that will be ready for the next episode.

Angela Maciocia is a soon-to-be 48-year-old masters runner from just outside of Montreal, QC. On May 27th she competed in the elite field of the Ottawa 10K, which also served as our Canadian Championships. Alongside Olympians and international level athletes, Angela was proud to be the oldest runner in the field and one of only eight women over the age of 40. Not only did she win her 45-49 age group and finish 6th master, she also ran a really smart race in the 30-degree heat to finish only ~30-seconds off her personal best in a time of 39:19.Last October during the Chicago Marathon, Angela ruptured her plantar fascia and was forced to drop out around the 29K mark. Devastated, she left the Windy City on crutches and in a boot just two weeks before her wedding to her best friend & coach, Bruce Raymer. She maintained her aerobic fitness in the pool and on the elliptical (a wedding present from Bruce!), but it took working with a psychologist to come to a place of forgiveness within herself for even toeing that start line in the first place. We had a fascinating discussion on the mental side of the sport, including self-compassion and self-love.Angela is a mom of two teenage boys, one of whom is on the autism spectrum. She is also undergoing a career change that's had her studying five hours a day over the past five months to become a real estate agent.Connect with Angela:Instagram: @angelamaciociaResources we discussed in the episode:Ponya BandsAngela's discount code for 15% off: AngelaRun15Connect with Carolyn & Kim:Email us with guest ideas: inspiredsolescast@gmail.comInspired Soles InstagramKim's InstagramKim's FacebookCarolyn's InstagramCarolyn's FacebookCarolyn's websiteWe love hearing from you!

In this week's episode of Healthspan Academy,  I sat down with 2-time Olympic Pole Vaulter, Anicka Newell, as we chatted about different training regimens in her preparation for the Olympics. Anicka dissected the pole vault movement itself and the specific skill that goes into the jump. We also talked about the key nutrition, recovery and mental strategies in advancing towards peak athletic performance. Getting into the sport, Anicka Newell started pole vaulting at age 16. After graduating from Texas State University in 2016 with a major in Exercise Sports Science, she made her Olympic debut at Rio in the same year finishing second at the Canadian Championships. She set her personal best at 4.65m in June 2017 at a meet at her alumni stadium in San Marcos, Texas, making her the number two Canadian woman all-time. She repeated as the runner-up at the Canadian Championships before making the final in her debut at the World Athletics Championships. In early 2018, Newell finished seventh at the Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast, Australia. She went on to win her first national title. In January 2021, she set a new indoor personal best of 4.70m at a meet in Texas. Outdoors, she recorded a season-high 4.60m in May. In her second Olympic appearance at Tokyo 2020, she advanced to the 15-woman finals. Anicka now works as a coach and personal trainer in Elite Sportz SA. Outside of her sport, she enjoys being near the water and wakeboarding. You can find Anicka on Instagram @flygirl93. *** Please note that the content discussed in this podcast is intended for self-education and is not to be interpreted as medical advice.

Andrea Crawford, Jillian Babin and Katie Forward join host Wayne Tallon and talk about this years Scotties and Scotties past.  Andrea reminisces on winning her Canadian Championships at home and what it is like teaching her 5 year old daughter how to curl.  

Episode 41 and Wendi and Dfernando's guest interview is Canadian multi-medalist Olympic ice dancer and linquist Paul Poirier.  Paul Poirier started skating at age five.  In standard Canadian tradition, he was put into ice hockey along with his brothers but instead of chasing the puck, he would spin on the face-off dots.  Once he was officially enrolled in figure skating, he loved being able to do what he wanted.  From ages 9 to 18 he split his time between ice dance and men’s singles; focusing more on ice dance because his career was more established in this form and he liked the artistic freedom it provided. In July 2011, Poirier teamed up with Piper Gilles. At their first national championships together in January 2012, they won the bronze medal in ice dance but were ineligible to compete internationally that season because Gilles had competed for the United States the year prior. They debuted as a couple on the ISU Grand Prix in the Fall of 2012 and competed at their first World Championships together in 2013.In May 2013, Poirier suffered a right ankle fracture dislocation and underwent surgery to insert plates and screws. They were able to compete at the 2014 Canadian Championships, but weren’t quite physically or technically ready to take their best shot at qualifying for Sochi 2014 Winter Olympic Games and missed the Olympic team by one spot. That fueled their fire for the next quadrennial. After winning silver at the 2014 Four Continents Championships, they had one of their strongest seasons in 2014-15, winning a pair of silver medals on the Grand Prix series and qualifying for the Grand Prix Final. They went on to post a career-best finish at the World Championships, placing sixth.Gaining a reputation as innovative skaters who try to do the opposite of what people expect, Gilles and Poirier had their partial step sequence from the 2015-16 short dance adopted as a new pattern dance by the ISU and dubbed the "Maple Leaf March". They had been struggling with that program all season, tweaking it constantly and changing the music entirely three weeks before the Worlds, where they ended up placing fifth in the short dance to put them into the final flight for the free dance. At the 2017 World Championships they recorded their second straight eighth-place finish. After winning silver at the 2018 Canadian Championships, Gilles and Poirier competed at PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games where they had yet another eighth-place finish. They followed up by matching their career-best World Championship result a month later.Poirier had a prior successful partnership with Vanessa Crone that included a World Junior silver medal in 2008, a Canadian title in 2011, and competing at the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games.Poirier completed his Bachelor of Arts in Linguistics at the University of Toronto.  Passionate about language, he continues to spend time reading and doing linguistics research.  He is currently training with Piper Gilles for the 2022 Beijing Olympic Winter Games. Also on Episode 41, Wendi and Dfernando talk about non-celebratory Valentine's Day, the release of BARB & STAR GO TO VISTA DEL MAR and those 1970s TV commercials featuring creepy stop-motion dolls.  And on the RIPE & ROTTEN REPORT there's the 2012 fashion documentary VERSAILLES '73: American Runway Revolution, Gen Z vs. Gen X, the hilarious Cheri Oteri and slow texters.   Follow us on our Instagram: Wendi McLendon-CoveyDfernando ZarembaGENERATION RIPE...  and our guest Paul Poirier and his Twitter. Remember to subscribe, rate & leave a review for GENERATION RIPEVisit Dfernando Zaremba's website: dfernandozaremba.com

Kevin Koe has achieved curling greatness on the Canadian and world stage. With four Canadian Championships, two World Championships, and an appearance at the 2018 Olympics he has to be considered one of the greatest Canadian curlers of all time. Kevin comes from a family with a legacy of curling. His father Fred, brother Jamie and sister Kerry are all curlers of note, with national and international accomplishments of their own. However, perhaps not as well known by curling and sport enthusiasts, is Kevin's legacy from a cultural perspective.In this episode we discuss with Kevin his last two curling seasons, the effects of COVID-19 on curling and what the game may look like when it returns, changes to Team Koe, Kevin's Gwich'in heritage, and roots in the Mackenzie Delta of the Northwest Territories in the Canadian Arctic, his father Fred and Grandfather Chief Jim Koe and much more.

Chuck Bastie interviews skater Kaitlyn Weaver as well as her reasons for choosing Canadian Tire Jumpstart as her charity of choice! Chuck also chats with Marco Di Buono from the Canadian Tire Jumpstart about the wonderful partnership they have with Sheldon Kennedy and Kaitlyn Weaver! Kaitlyn Weaver is competing with Sheldon Kennedy. They are skating for Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities. Kaitlyn Weaver was born in Houston, Texas and began skating by the age of six. By 17, Weaver moved to Kitchener, Ont. where she began skating alongside her current partner Andrew Poje. Weaver and Poje won a bronze medal in ice dancing at the Canadian Championships after only five months skating as teammates. Together, both Weaver and Poje have represented Canada internationally for about 13 years. The two have gone on to win three World Ice Dance medals, gold medals at the Grand Prix Final Championships, as well as three Canadian Ice Dance titles. The pair placed seventh in both the Sochi 2014 Olympics as well as the PyeongChang Olympics in 2018. She is currently an ambassador for Right To Play, and is also a co-founder of Skate To Great, a charity dedicated to giving Canadian children the opportunity to get on the ice regardless of their economic or physical circumstances. Weaver is competing with Sheldon Kennedy as her partner. They are both skating for Canadian Tire Jumpstart — a national charity that helps kids overcome barriers in their lives, whether it be financial or accessibility barriers to sport and recreation in an effort to provide inclusive play for all.

Two weeks ago the Canadian Track and Field Championships took place in Montréal, QC. There were several breathtaking moments, not the least of which was the final of the women's 800m. Four-time reigning champion and Canadian record-holder Melissa Bishop-Nriagu and west-coast standout Lindsay Butterworth came in as heavy favourites. But it was Canadian Running Staff Writer Madeleine Kelly who used a late surge to muscle her way to her first ever National victory!

This week on Track Wrap: -Track action in Montreal, the Canadian World Championship trials descend on the City of Saints -Paradise won, the Tely ten sees a record fall -We are one week away from the Terminal Mile Cup-Distance Medley Relay Challenge.

This week AJ and Dylan talk Canadian Championships, Fury FC, MLS the EPL and Champions League!

A quick reminder that we’re just a week and a half away from the Terminal Mile Cup- Distance Medley Relay Challenge, brought to you by New Balance, and combining with Athletics Ontario for their DMR Championships. Register your team today, last year was a celebration of fast running, with everybody getting involved in the action, and I have no doubt this year will be as well. Prizes by New Balance, the top club registered teams will be eligible for the Athletics Ontario Championships, and the fastest overall men’s and women’s teams will have their names etched into the side of the terminal mile cup. Join us on August 5th, at the Mona Campbell Track in Hamilton. Register on the Hamilton PB Twilight Trackie Reg page. Evan Dunfee is an athlete that I am proud to have made the acquaintance of. His athletic achievements are certainly notable; multiple Canadian race walk records, a 4th place in the Rio Olympic 50km race walk, medals from an assortment of international competitions, but what really rounds out the entire person is the energy that Evan has put into different causes, including Kidsport, for who he walked 25km a day for 25 day. It is fair to say that Evan has really elevated the profile of race walking in this country, sometimes wearing his heart on his sleeve, and certainly always showing his true grit. We caught up with Evan this week before he competes at the Canadian Championships in Montreal, from there he is off to Peru to chase a win at the Pan-Am games, and rounding off his season in Doha at the World Champs.

At first we thought it would be an “in between” episode but we’re really glad about it so we’ve got a full-blown episode 11 for you! This week Alexander Perez and Tristan D’Amours talk to Mohamed Farsi of AS Blainville and Sporting Montreal. The soccer-futsal athlete talks about playing in two Canadian Championships this year, […]

Branna Macdougall has been on the radar of the collective Canadian distance running consciousness for the last half decade. Showing dominance on her own at the junior level, (she still holds the Canadian junior 5,000 record, running 15:48) and then when her younger sister Brogan showed similar ability, all eyes were focused on Kingston, seeing what could possibly be next for these girls. For Branna, it’s been an OUA championship, some solid times on the track, and most recently, being named to the national Universiade team in the 10,000. For those wondering about her current shape, Branna just added another sub-34 10,000 to her name at the Canadian Championships in British Columbia, and just this past weekend, she ran a 15:49, mostly solo, in London, Ontario. This week the young Physikult and New Balance runner joins the show to talk about that, the evolving dynamic that she has, training with her sister, and why the 10,000m isn’t more popular amongst women in Canada.

On this episode, record-breaking racquetballer, Jennifer Saunders joins us to talk about her gold-medal performance at the Canadian Championships in BC. Also, our very own, Bob Irving gives us an update from Blue Bomber Training Camp. And finally, The Big Man Panel assembles as The Raptors even up the East Final.

Spelling Bee of Canada/Épelle-Moi Canada's Regional Competitions across Canada began on Saturday, March 2, and continue through Sunday, April 7, 2019. Over 4000 English and French spelling bee participants in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia will be competing for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place titles in three age divisions: Primary (ages 6-8), Junior (ages 9-11), and Intermediate (ages 12-14). Each first place Regional winner advances to the Canadian Championships, to be held in Richmond Hill, ON, on Sunday, May 5, 2019. “With such strong participation again this year, the message is clear – spelling bees are good for our kids, youth and our communities,” says Dr. Nagina Parmar, President of Spelling Bee of Canada (SBOC). “With the support of parents, Chapter Presidents and volunteers, we're encouraging young people to expand their vocabulary, communication skills and self-confidence by providing a foundation for future scholastic achievements through our theme of ‘Education + Perseverance = Success'.” Incorporating technology to better meet the changing needs of participants and their families, is one of SBOC's modernizations. Over the past months, bee participants have been preparing for the challenging words they will encounter by using SBOC's web-based coaching app to practice anytime, anywhere, on any web-enabled device. This is just one of the many advancements the new board members are advocating. “We're thrilled to have passionate new board members join us this year. Coming from spelling bee backgrounds, they're adding new perspectives, sharing their expertise and are dedicated to helping us reach our goals,” says Julie Spence, SBOC's CEO and Founder. “As a registered charity, we depend on like-minded businesses, organizations and individuals to contribute time, materials, service and/or funds to make our spelling bees and educational programs possible.” In its 32nd year, SBOC has welcomed over 50,000 children as spelling bee participants. SBOC, a not-for-profit grassroots organization, was established in the greater Toronto area in 1987 and led to the development of an Ontario Spelling Bee. Since then, SBOC has been promoting children and youth literacy with the mission to enrich the children and youth learning experience and engage schools and the community at large in an annual education process. Long-term, SBOC plans on establishing chapters in each province and territory in order to create a National Spelling Bee, providing access to English and French language learning through their proprietary online platforms and ultimately engaging approximately one million participants across Canada. Recently, Dorine Joelle from Spelling Bee Of Canada was live on our show. During our conversation, Ms. Joelle talked about: – Epoi Moi Of Canada (French version of The Spelling Bee Of Canada) – some background on The Spelling Bee Of Canada and Epoi Moi Of Canada – How did her and Julie Spence (the founder of Spelling Bee of Canada) met – The first event that the organizations collaborated on – the process to qualify for the contest – How the contest is a year round process – Literacy in Canada – Making the children the focus of the competition not the parents – The biggest change that she has seen with the organization You can find out more information about the Spelling Bee Of Canada via: Website Instagram Facebook Twitter Visit The Dr. Vibe Show™ at https://www.thedrvibeshow.com/ Please feel free to email The Dr. Vibe Show™ at dr.vibe@thedrvibeshow.com Please feel free to “Like” the “The Dr. Vibe Show” Facebook fan page here God bless, peace, be well and keep the faith, Dr. Vibe

New Brunswick native Geneviève Lalonde threw her arms up in triumph as she crossed the finish line at the Canadian Cross-Country Championships last weekend. Better known for her exploits on the track--she is an Olympic finalist and has lowered her own Canadian 3000m steeplechase record 3 times--Gen entered the race as somewhat of an underdog. After a 5 year hiatus from cross-country racing and an "emotional breakdown" following her 2018 track season, Gen wasn't a likely favourite for the win. But that didn't stop her from dominating the senior women's 10km and securing her spot on the 2019 World XC team. In this episode we chat with Gen about balancing a professional athletic career with non-running passions. We dissect her National Championship win, discuss the importance of mental training, and relive getting gritty in the Arctic circle.

At age 3, Jason enrolled in his first skating class, and by age 6, he was playing in the youth hockey league. “It didn’t take long for everyone to notice – I was one of the fastest skaters on the team, and after seeing my sister come home with handful’s of shiny speed skating medals, I was inspired to try the sport myself.” Jason finished his first race in grand style; falling four times and finishing dead last – but that didn’t stop him – it FUELED his motivation and became an important life lesson (it doesn’t matter how many times you fall down, but how many times you get back up)! Jason rapidly improved, and at age 12, he competed in his first Canadian Championships! 20-plus years of training and commitment has rewarded Jason with hundreds of honors and successes. “I raced in 65 World Cups and 10 World Championships – over 130 international races overall.” (making Jason one of the most accomplished and experienced speed skaters in Canadian history).

Vera Pezer has always had a mind for curling.  From her early days in Meskanaw, SK, tossing stones on a two sheeter at the age of 6, Vera developed a lifelong passion for the roaring game.  In our conversation, we cover her development at the University of Saskatchewan where she honed her curling skills and her studies, eventually blending the two as part of her PhD in Sports Psychology.  Vera won 4 Canadian Championships as Team Saskatchewan.  First as third for Joyce McKee in 1969, then skipping Sheila Rowan, Joyce, and Lenore Morrison to three consecutive national victories from 1971 to 1973. Vera then stepped back from curling, but eventually found herself working with the CCA, providing a focus on the mental aspects of the game. After the 1992 Winter Olympics, career again pulled her away from the game, but her passions remained and she directed this energy into writing a book "The Stone Age: A Social History of Curling on the Prairies", published in 2003.  She followed up with "Smart Curling: Perfect Your Game Through Mental Training" in 2007.     Vera tells stories from across her curling career including the Canadian Championships (CLCA and Macdonald Lassies), the 1988 Olympic Trials, and shares her thoughts on the modern game.  You'll also hear about her clash with Orest in curling's original "Battle of the Sexes" in 1972.   In addition to her own books, you can find out more about Vera Pezer in "Tales of a Curling Hack" by Doug Maxwell, "Curling: The History, The Players, The Game" by Warren Hansen, and "Some outstanding women: they made Saskatoon a better community".   Next Episode: Dan Carey
