Two of the members  of Montreal Roller Derby and part of the coaching staff of the 2017 Beast of the East champions, La Racaille, join Walter and I in preparation for next week’s Beast of the East roller derby tournament. Both Artoo and Sirius are members of Montreal’s WFTDA A team the New Skids on the Block in addition to their coaching duties of one of MTLRD’s home teams. We talk about how they came to play in Montreal and a whole lot of roller derby. For more information about the Beast of the East tournament, go here. And for tickets, go here. La Racaille will be looking to win their third consecutive Beast of the East championship (and fourth overall) next weekend, April 27-29th at Arena Mont Royal, 4365 Cartier St, Montreal QC, Canada.

Enjoy the show!

Little side note, I’m still getting the hang of the new audio interface and laptop setup, so Artoo and Sirius end up a lot louder than me. Which is fine, they’re the reason you’re listening anyways.
