Renoites LIVE - Sierra Regional Roller Derby

This episode was recorded in front of a live audience at Black Rabbit Mead in Reno, Nevada on July 27, 2023. The sport of roller derby has a long history and reputation for big personalities, fierce competition, and a fair amount of beating up your friends. On this episode of Renoites, Conor is joined by two of Sierra Regional Roller Derby's players, Slamuel L Jackson and One Hit Wonder to talk about the sport and it's place in Northern Nevada. Topics include the logistics of the game, like how it's played and the differences between flat track and banked track derby, the shift from a more theatrical pro wrestling vibe into a more serious sport in more recent years, diversity and inclusion, why derby has room for all body types, what makes a good roller derby nickname, an audience Q&A segment, and much more!
