  • The Official Review is a podcast by Peter Park'em where we deep dive into the world of Roller Derby officiating. For each episode we will have a guest on the show talking about how they got involved with the sport, what got them into officiating or what kept them from trying, and how they experience the officiating culture in "Derby" today. We will tell stories about lessons learned along the way, provide insights into growing as an official and share memorable stories both, from on and off the track. So get you initiations, actions and outcomes ready, welcome to the official review!

    Episode 6 - Independent NSO - Gorier Estefan
    May 5 2023
    For this Episode, we're cutting all ties with leagues and hearing from Independent NSO Gorier Estefan about how you can build your support structure as an independent official and why, not having just one but many leagues, can widen your range of knowledge. We also discuss how leagues can be transparent, when they expect dedicated and travelling officials to train their volunteers before games and why that also is a great chance to win people for the official's community. So get your initiation, action and outcome ready!   Welcome to the Official Review, Gorier Estefan!

    Apr 20 2023

    We're putting the skates back on for Episode number five and talk about how it was starting as a young official in a newly formed league in the Netherlands, why officiating isn't for everyone and why tone matters, even when you are right.


    My guest shares why sometimes taking a step back from Derby can actually keep you in the sport, but why not coming back never was an option.

    Episode 4 - Copenhagen Head NSO - Kirahvi
    Apr 6 2023
    You don't need skates to make a lasting impact in the world of Roller Derby, as proven by Kirahvi, my guest for this week's episode and one of Europe's most experienced and best know Non Skating Officials. We talk about what derby bubbles mean for the development and spreading of knowledge within officials and what official can do, to burst those bubbles as well as what a great league culuture means for growing an officials team. And with a combined derby age of over 20 years, we of course share some stories from past ruleset shenanigans and things we learned along the way. So get your initiation, action and outcome ready!   Welcome to the Official Review, Kirahvi!
