We have a special guest this week!! Miss Tea Maven is an all star jammer who skates for Gotham Girls Roller Derby. She sustained a serious knee injury earlier this year and is on the journey of getting stronger and coming back BETTER than ever. She gives a great perspective on your mindset while injured and ways to help your team and stay engaged from the sidelines. This episode was recorded immediately after the Saturday night game at the 2019 WFTDA International Championship in Montreal, Gotham vs VRDL where Gotham emerged victorious in a close, exciting match up! We also talk about her personal mission to stop the public stigma of living with mental illness and bring awareness by encouraging others to keep talking. Miss Tea Maven is an all around great person (and pretty funny too!). It would be wise to share this episode with anyone you think might need a listen.

Grab those helmets—today’s guest is Gotham Girls Roller Derby superstar Carnage Electra! We get the scoop about her cat Steve, from his early days as a Brooklyn street tough to his current life as an aspiring musician. Plus, some insight about what cats and derby players have in common, and why so many women who are drawn to such an intense physical sport are also drawn to such soft furry creatures. We also put Carnage to the test with a Cat Quiz about former Pussycat Doll Carmen Electra, her derby alter ego namesake.

Jayne from the Brooklyn TransCore band Trashy is back...this time we talk about her work as a punk on a farm and then we talk about her work in the rink...as a member of Gotham Girls Roller Derby. We talk a ton of shit and Jayne sets my mind right as I sound like a sprayed shitbag for the first and I am sure last time in my life I may have actually been wrong about something.  PLUS we listen to Jayne's band TRASHY and I play a tune from my band SKULL CASTER's newly released album...which we will be touring down the WEST COAST AND SOUTH WEST of the US to support...and we will be playing with some of the best bands out there, including DAYS N DAZE, so I play my fav song of theirs. AND we also play my fav. INTERRUPTERS tune. 

Roller derby is the coolest sport you didn’t know you love. I attended my first bout via New York City’s Gotham Girls league last month and fell in love—with both the sport and its players. This week you’ll hear me chat with veteran skater Whiskey Lullabye about the state of women sports. “What do they say when a man is great at a sport? ‘Oh, he could go pro!’ What do they say to a great female athlete? ‘Well, I guess you can coach.’” I want to thank Miss USlay and Gotham Girls Roller Derby for exposing me to the wonders of their sport. I hope you all enjoy this week’s slamming episode! PLUS: Whip It, gender equality, sports, lesbians, online dating, selfies, and transgender athletes!
