Ep. 33: Roller derby and DEI and 5x World Champions

This week on Kinda Radical I talk with Rose City Rollers Rocket Mean and Mutch. Rose City Rollers has many teams such as youth teams, adult rec teams, competitive teams, and the 5x World Champion travel team. 

We talk about the sport itself, connections within Oregon, and the open environment of roller derby. Regarding Trump's anti-DEI and anti-trans regulations, Rose City Rollers is committed to being a space for trans athletes and will continue to work to make a safe and competitive league for all their athletes. **Note: this episode was recorded before February 6th, the day Trump signed the order to ban trans athletes from competing in women's leagues.**
