It's the premiere episode of the Broomstackers podcast! Host Ed Scimia talks with Michael Parker and Chelsea Blink, both of whom are members of the Yale curling club. It's an episode with a distinct lack of broomstacking, but plenty of great discussion topics. 

Do cats make better rocks or stabilizers? Who should skip our hypothetical curling rink of major party presidential and vice presidential candidates? And will the Cubs win Game 5 of the 2016 World Series? Spoiler alert on that last one: they did. All this and a little college curling chat in a tidy 37-minute run time!
