Buster's Beat: Most Daring with Jess Almeida

Welcome back to another episode of Buster’s Beat! 💥 This time, Buster sits down with longtime friend Jess Almeda—aka Suds of Boston Roller Derby—for a chaotic, heartfelt, and hilarious conversation about identity, community, and finding your lane (even if it’s on wheels). Jess shares how they got into roller derby, what it’s like being part of a queer, gender-expansive sports community, and how the league operates as a fully DIY, nonprofit powerhouse. From snapping an ankle in their very first scrimmage to becoming a team captain, this episode dives into resilience, growth, and the beauty of chosen family. In this episode: How roller derby actually works (flat track vs. banked track 👀) The queer, inclusive culture of Boston Roller Derby Stage names, alter egos, and living between identities Music, performance, and creative crossover with bands like Your Friends in Hell Somerville nostalgia, weird collectibles, and naming your car (yes, really) Whether you're derby-curious, part of the drag/burlesque world, or just here for the vibes, this episode is full of laughs, heart, and local chaos energy. 🎧 Tap in, follow along, and support your local creatives + athletes! 🎙 Guest: Jess Almeida (Suds) Boston Roller Derby 🎧 Listen now on all YouTube, Spotify & Apple Muisc! 🔊 Follow On Instagram: @pantsbuster | @suddenlyseymour923 | @peabody_tv 🎧 Stream Buster’s Beat on all major platforms 🎥 Produced by Peabody TV in Peabody, MA

We're Earth Signs with Sybil Disobedience

Season 2 of Buster’s Beat starts NOW! Buster kicks off a brand-new season with drag artist, TEDx speaker, and horror-podcast witch Sybil Disobedience for a delightfully unhinged conversation about LARPing elves, doing drag in the trunk of a car, astrology as queer shorthand, and why we’re all in drag every time we leave the house. From birthday shows and haunted dolls to podcast obsessions and imaginary heists (Plymouth Rock, you’re on notice), this episode sets the tone for Season 2: chaotic, heartfelt, and very on-brand. Sybil talks about their TEDx talk on performative identity, the creation of their interactive fiction podcast Whichever Path, and the sacred art of wearing kneepads so your drag career lasts longer than your cartilage. Expect clown-slut philosophy, Freddie Mercury in the microwave, and a reminder that community, pretend, and a little bit of chaos can be acts of self-actualization. 🎙 Guest: Sybil Disobedience / Journey 📍 Mother of the House of Disobedience, NH 🧙 Podcast: Whichever Path 🎧 Listen now on all YouTube, Spotify & Apple Muisc! 🔊 Follow On Instagram: @pantsbuster | @sybilldisobedience | @peabody_tv 🎧 Stream Buster’s Beat on all major platforms 🎥 Produced by Peabody TV in Peabody, MA

Final Girl with Kelly Kapow / Trivia Time Bitch

In this chilling and hilarious installment of Buster’s Beat, host @pantsbuster [https://instagram.com/pantsbuster] welcomes Kelly Kapow (@missscareall [https://instagram.com/missscareall] / @triviatimebitch [https://instagram.com/triviatimebitch]), Salem’s own horror queen, haunter, and trivia host. Together they trace Kelly’s journey from spooky childhood obsessions and Freddy Krueger fanfiction to becoming a seasoned pro in the haunt industry, crafting grotesque and unforgettable characters that defy expectations of who gets to be scary. The episode dives into horror as both art and identity — from Halloween memories and queer awakenings to the enduring camp and terror of slashers, thrillers, and cult classics. Along the way, Buster and Kelly swap stories of shadowcast performances, debate the best gore vs. psychological horror, and laugh about the anxieties (and joys) of trivia showdowns. Final Girl is a love letter to horror, queerness, and the resilience it takes to keep showing up when the credits roll.
