We have a very different episode of VLD! Super Fun Happy Time for dat ass. Last week BK and Noms were invited to guest program a radio show called Bringin' It Back on SWR FM 99.9 with DJ Johnny Bones. The theme for the show is to pick songs that bring back special memories or have a special meaning to the us, so this is a very music heavy episode. Listen to some of BK's and Noms' favourite songs; embarrassingly bad, to some all time classics and hear the reason behind why they love them or hatelove them so much. We also talk a little bit about derby.  Big thanks to Johnny Bones for having us on. We had a tonne of fun. Checkout the SWR FM website at www.swrfm.com.au and like their Facebook Page.

We're calling this The Lost Episode.  It was so close to be scrapped and almost seemed doomed from the start.  Corrupt data files, lost interviews, technology BS and Big Kahuna was close to throwing in the towel.  We recorded this about 6 weeks ago, so, of course a lot of the info is crazy late, but we've been told it's better than nothing.  Hope you enjoy what you can and if not, don't worry, Episode 13 is just around the corner.

Not so recently, the VIVALADERBY! crew had a SUPER FUN HAPPY TIME with DUMPTRUCK  of Derby Deeds and many other derby related activities.  The man is a good time, and is was completely charming considering he was talking to us at 4am.  Dumptruck is one funny motherfucker and we had a good time chatting with him, but for all the lulz he generates, he also speaks with passion and intelligence and with the type of insight possessed by very few.  This interview is pretty old.  Consider it the lost tapes of Dumpy. If you don't mind hearing all of our thoughts on some pretty old events that everyone already knows the outcome to, then you'll probably have a super fun happy time too. VIVALADERBY!

In this episode of VIVALADERBY! Super Fun Happy Time Big Kahuna,  De-Nominator joined Pepa La Pow from rollerderbyau.net to have a chat to SRDL leading up to the grand final bout in September 2011.  We were joined by Winnie Bruise and Captain Ratz from Team Unicorn and Great Bolz of Fire, Bomb Jones, and Paddy Whack from the Beauty School Knockouts. This was a lot of fun getting to talk to some great skaters right before their biggest bout of the year.  They gave us a great insight into their personalities, the teams, the league and some of their preparation leading into the grand final.  Most interviews are given after a bout, this time you get to hear their thoughts before hand.
