In this edition, we interview Cassie Johnson, the young skip of the team that will represent the United States at the Olympic Games. The former world junior champ and runner-up at last year’s world championships in Scotland discusses training for Torino, the advantages of a full year of preparation, the team’s schedule for next season, the youth factor, last year’s world final, the challenges faced by competitive curlers in the United States and more.

We’re still not in the ITunes directory, but you can subscribe to our feed in ITunes without any other podcasting software. Go to Podcasts in the ITunes Music Store, click on SUBSCRIBE TO PODCAST under ADVANCED and paste in the feed from this site (it appears in your browser window when you click on the RSS/2.0 logo under FEEDS in the Nav Bar on the right). It makes automatic downloads very routine. Remember – you can always listen to the interviews as streaming audio as well.

Once again, the music is by Black Pudding – we’re planning to offer the tracks for sale shortly.
