Women Love Wrestling: 4 Horsewomen

(Repost of an episode of the Holy Shoot podcast from early 2020)

Back in 2019-2020 when working on the Women Love Wrestling anthology I was also a part of Holy Shoot - A Wrestling Podcast team. I used this platform to share some of the interviews conducted for the book, one of which was a 90 minute discussion with Emily Read and Dann Reed of Pro-Wrestling: EVE.

Both Emily and Dann were in fine form when I interviewed them in the run-up to Wrestle Queendom 3 back in January 2020.  Interview topics include:

I've kept the interview in its original form, including the delightful Nina Samuels insulting everyone and my summary of the interview and Women Love Wrestling project (before we became this website), followed by the full interview.

Special Interview Episode (episode 10)

This episode features Jacqui Pratt, talented academic and wrestling writer, plus lead singer in awesome wrestling themed band Cheap Pop. Jac wrote about wrestling as part of her PhD, appears weekly on the PWTorch Bruce Mitchell Audio Show, and sings kickass punk songs about wrestling 

(Cards on the table time:   We recorded this back in 2019 before Speaking Out. At the time Joey Ryan was a respected performer thought to be playing a sleazy character, Unfortunately it turns out he was in real life a sleazy character. I don't think this changes the analysis Jacqui did or the themes covered, but please know we would not be talking about Joey in this way if the interview took place today. We are mainly talking about Candice LeRae and storytelling.
