Keeping you in tune with Our Community.

Derby-curious? Marygrace McManus, “Magoo” #609, pulls back the curtain on Rage City Roller Derby, serving up a behind-the-scenes look at Anchorage’s fiercest league on wheels. From high-energy bouts to the tight-knit community that keeps the wheels turning, “Magoo” chats about the skaters, the culture, the upcoming events, and the beautifully controlled chaos of derby life.

Kelly grew up in the Midwest among farms and fertile soils. Outfitted with a B.A. in Communications and a minor in Film Studies, she moved to Nome, Alaska to work for a community-driven, nonprofit radio station. There she became versed in local radio, holding a range of jobs from Program and Music Director to producer and on-air host. Every day she’s in awe of the connection and companionship only local radio provides. When not working, Kelly and her spouse happily spend their time traveling, appreciating the true wild, and creating artsy things.
