This week the summer season looks back to the fall of 2024, when Biggie Brawls and Molly Spartan dug into the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Calls to Action with relation to sport, looked at changing derby and bout day protocols, and highlighted a few of the skaters from Team Indigenous Rising Roller Derby.

Oops...Molly did it again. Talk Derby to Me will be broadcasting through the summer at @trentradiocommunity /Trent Radio, and to kick off the season, Molly has programmed a show that was iced out of being broadcast by the storm at the end of March that knocked out power to most of Peterborough and much of central Ontario. The trees are still broken, but radio marches on, as Molly is excited to "get bendy" with Kid Ace to learn more about Ace's origin story, the need for balance in roller derby, the birth of Yoga for Skaters with Ace , homecoming weekend at #moxiskatecamp, and some surprising fashion tips that can carry you to from the track to the skate park and even to the prospecting fields of the California gold rush.

Originally broadcast Monday April 28 at 8:30 pm EST at 92.7 FM in PTBO / NOGO.

As the season continues, we hope to bring you broadcasted recordings of "live" roller derby and more interviews of the people that make up this community.

Originally Broadcast March 3, 2025, in this episode of Talk Derby To Me, Slayer and Molly meet up virtually from their respective dark rooms of rest and recovery to talk about concussions and concussion protocol. And apparently it's not just about sport! Life can be dangerous too, so hopefully if you ever get a concussion, it was while doing something you love. Listen to learn about Rowan's Law, and some resources for concussion awareness and support.

Talk Derby broadcasts weekly Mondays at 8:30 pm EST, through the facilities of Trent Radio, 92.7 FM in Peterborough, Ontario and on the web at trentradioDOTca.
