It's a few weeks before the holidays, but it's already the last week of the fall 2025 Trent Radio Season. This week's Talk Derby to Me is a well wrapped gift of a show that even Molly hasn't heard yet -- A Spartan Family Christmas, as the show is taken over by three members of her biological family who have been there with her track-side, holding her hand, and timing her penalties since she first put on skates. It promises to be a wide ranging conversation about the power of community. This pre-recorded show originally broadcast Monday Dec 8, 2025 8:30 EST through the facilities of Trent Radio at 92.7 FM or via Trent Radio on the web!

After Molly's convo with Pinkie & Evel last week, she thought she should check out this book that all the folks are talking about. This week on Talk Derby to Me, Molly reads from the Roller Girl graphic novel (authored & illustrated by Victoria Jamieson, c 2015), wondering how she managed to miss this! (though, was comforted to find out that her own teen managed to find it all on their own. Thank you public and classroom libraries! Let's keep them open, diverse and accessible!). Also... a great book to pick up from an independent bookstore for the graphic novel readers in your family.

This part 2 reading with some news of the PARD league was originally broadcast Monday Nov 24, 2025 8:30 EST through the facilities of Trent Radio at 92.7 FM or via Trent Radio on the web. You can find past shows on Acast: https://shows.acast.com/talk-derby-to-me #supportcommunityradio

Last week was a wild skate park ride in the dog days of August. But this week Molly's back on leash, and has a great conversation with two junior skaters starting their first year in Adult derby leagues. Evel K from @pard.jr returns to the show, and welcome to Pinkie who is a recent Peterborough transplant from the west coast. They'll both talk about where they came from as Juniors, and what its like navigating the transition to post secondary campuses and skating up in adult leagues. They will also put some serious thought into why Trent is not using Roller Derby as part of their recruitment branding. 🛼🛼 Origionally Broadcast Monday Nov 10, 2025 8:30 EST through the facilities of Trent Radio at 92.7 FM or via Trent Radio on the web.

Sometimes Molly is let out in public unsupervised, and this is what's being served up this week on Talk Derby to Me. Join Molly in the wayback machine to immerse yourself the soundscapes of the Lakefield Selwyn Wave and the Peterborough Bonnerworth SkateParks from last August, with casual conversations with some of the usual suspects as well as new acquaintances Lisa and Marlin and Eamon from Deep River. And just to note that the opinions expressed on this broadcast are not necessary the opinions of Peterborough Area Roller Derby nor Trent Radio and their affiliates. 🥸😜

Originally Broadcast Monday Nov 3, 2025 8:30 EST through the facilities of Trent Radio at 92.7 FM or via Trent Radio on the web. Next week join in for a convo with some recently graduated junior skates now joining PARD's adult league.

Do YOU know That Guy? If you know, you know! New PARDYer Renegade Rose meets up with Molly this week for a convo about Joy boots, learning to skate in the Toronto skate community, Slam Poetry on skates, and local skate treasure Daniel Lee. And the show will finish with an interview with That Guy himself, Daniel, at the Douro Arena free skate this past August. There's a whole part of the interview that can't be broadcast at the risk of someone being arrested by Interpol, but we're not going to say who, but ... for the right persuasion, we might let you listen off air. 🥸
