202 - Windy City Rollers 2026 WFTDA Playoffs Preview

The Windy City Rollers are back in the playoff conversation — and they’re coming in smarter, deeper, and more connected than ever than ever on their way to WFTDA North America Northeast Playoffs in Lansing, Michigan.

In this episode, we sit down with Windy City skaters Nasty Al, Shake N Bake, D. Ride, and Nicolas Rage to talk about the evolution of one of roller derby’s most cerebral and creatively dangerous teams. This is a conversation about resilience, reinvention, leadership, friendship, and what it means to build a league for the long haul after a mass retirement of 75% of their All Stars in 2015.

With goals of medaling at playoffs for the first time since 2014 and pushing Arch Rival harder than ever before, Windy City is entering this season with momentum, depth, and belief.
