For anyone who's into podcasts --- I've just discovered:

Mental Meat Heads from Agoge Fitness Systems

It's basically a treasure trove of interviews with interesting thinky people in the strength/fitness industry (including folks like Sally Moss of Gubernatrix, Krista Scott-Dixon of Stumptuous, and Chip Conrad of Bodytribe).

I've just been listening to the fascinating interview with Mace Clinkenbeard, in which he talks about how gender transition has affected his experiences as a lifter and coach/trainer, in both physical ways (the impact of testosterone on muscle-building) and social ways ("passing" as male versus being perceived as a "butch dyke").

And training a roller derby team, and the metaphysics of throwing things, and using sandbags to teach cleans ...

(Oh, and now Dave Hall's interviewing Kat Ricker and talking about how he fell in love with feminist science fiction ...)
