Welcome to the first episode of the Curling for Change Podcast! In this limited series, our host, 2023 All Heart Curling Award recipient Wil Robertson, will chat with folks from all corners of the curling community to hear their stories, their perspectives, and how we can change the face of curling and promote inclusion within our sport.
Our first discussion is: “Curling with Heart: A Discussion with Youth Curlers Changing the Face of Curling”. Wil chats with his fellow All Heart award recipients, Sitaye Penney, Kamraan Islam, and Luke Robins to hear what their experiences were in enacting their All Heart action plans to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in their curling clubs, and what they think the curling community ought to do to be more welcoming and inclusive for all.

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life.
