We discuss his most recent Brier win in Kingtson and tackle other subjects such as a player's association for curlers, the growing disparity between Tier 1/slam teams and the remainder of Canadian teams on tour and we also discuss reaching the provincial mixed doubles final in Newfoundland and Labrador along with his 12-year-old daughter Hayley.

Olympic silver medalist and world champion Richard Hart joins me for his first-ever From the Hack podcast appearance. We touch on many different topics including the 2020 Brier, team chemistry and whether enough is done to help curlers deal with the emotional toll of competing in, and losing, in major curling events.
