Episode Details

Twenty years ago, the Mad Rollin' Dolls, a campy women-only roller derby league was born in Madison. It was one of the first flat-track roller derby leagues in the country and helped pioneer the revival of the sport in the 2000s. Now, the scrappy sports league has become Madison Roller Derby, an inclusive community non-profit organization with four home teams and two traveling teams. This season, they’re playing at the Alliant Energy Center and celebrating their hundredth home game. Host Bianca Martin spoke to Emily Mills (aka Hammer Abby) about what’s next for Madison Roller Derby and what’s happening in their quest for a new home.
