I've reposted 196 episodes on YouTube:

I also have a Google Sheet for reference where you can see all the episodes listed in one page, including those that are still missing.

You can link to specific timestamp on YouTube. For example, here's Pierre Charette giving inside scoop on Rachel Homan's team when she was relatively unknown in 2005.

YouTube also has automatically-generated close caption, which is decent. You can view the transcript and search for topic keywords.

There are some interesting conversations during this time period (Jennifer Jones vs Cathy-Overton Clapham, Brad Gushue vs Randy Ferbey, Jason Gunnlaugson goes to Russia, how Olympics ruins curling, mixed doubles is a made-up sport, broomgate, Greg Stremlaw new CEO of Curling Canada, etc.).

Feel free to share some highlights.

You can also help me with cross-references, i.e. linking from interview topic to other videos.

For example, here George Karrys talks about 2008 Shot of the Year.

It was a tie between the Kevin Martin vs Randy Ferbey around-the-horn triple, and Jennifer Jones perfect freeze vs Moe Meguro. I've added links to videos of both of these shots.

This question (or something along this line) was asked a long time ago in a different thread: has a team ever benched their skip in a high profile event?

Marc Kennedy was asked to comment in a case I haven't heard until now: Team Scotland at 2008 World Women's.

WCF records says that they first moved Karen Addison from 2nd to 3rd, and then benched the skip and moved Addison to skip, eventually playing with just 3 players for the last 2 games (which they both won).

Wikipedia says:
"after her team had a disappointing performance, skip Gail Munro was told by the National Coach Derek Brown that she was not playing the last two games, inciting protest from third Lyndsay Wilson, who as a result of this protest was also told she was not playing. This forced the team to play with just three players, with Addison skipping. Despite playing shorthanded, the team won both games."

There's a Munro vs Brown case in Scottish Courts & Tribunals, which I assume is a lawsuit of some sort.

Crazy stuff!

//edit: yep, it was a defamation suit, which she won.
