This episode dives deep into the culture, chemistry, and competitive fire behind Arch Rival Roller Derby on the road to the 2026 WFTDA North America Northeast Playoffs in Lansing, Michigan coming up May 29th-31st.
I’m joined by Cloak N’ Dragher (“Draggie”) and Annie Swanson — two longtime pillars of the team who have skated together since 2014 — to talk about the Revenge Tour era, what it took to finally conquer Rose City at Tinsel Town Showdown, surviving Covid as a team, and why “sparkles” might secretly be the foundation of sustained success.
They may not be perfect, but they aim to "touch perfect" as often as possible (and aim to touch the Hydra trophy too).
