Mind, Body & Roll

Yes, dear listeners, it's time to talk about periods. We know, we know...it feels kinda awkward. But, in our opinion, NOT talking about periods is even worse. If you have a uterus, or care about someone with a uterus, here's what you need to know about menstrual cycles in roller derby athletes.

In this episode we debate the new WFTDA 'This is Roller Derby' beginner curriculum. Released in December 2020, the new framework reflects a huge shift from the previous Minimum Skills Requirements that we all knew and (?) loved. Is it a good thing or a bad thing? Join us as we try to decide.

For our 2020 Pride episode, we're joined by the brilliant and badass Dr. Indi-Hannah Jones to discuss transgender issues in roller derby (and in the world.) Whether you know absolutely nothing about gender identity, or you know way more than we do, we hope this episode better equips you to stick up for your fellow humans.

Asterisk & Spanky have a socially-distant moan about the many ways in which this COVID-19 pandemic sucks. And they also have some advice about how to maintain your sanity in the derbyless abyss that 2020 has become. www.mindbodyroll.wordpress.com

If you, like the vast majority of humans on this planet, have ever wished your body looked just a little bit more like someone else's (whether it's The Rock or Bonnie Thunders), then Asterisk & Spanky have you covered. www.mindbodyroll.wordpress.com

We hope it never happens to you and wish we didn't have to talk about it, but athlete burnout is a real thing, even when your sport is as awesome as roller derby. Whether you're burned out yourself or just tired of hearing everyone else whining about being burned out, you'll want to listen to this one.
