Holm vs. Correia
A little while back marquee women’s fighters Holly Holm and Bethe Correia squared off for a fight in Singapore (Holm won).
The thing is, for both of them the fight took place under the shadow of mutual past adversary Ronda Rousey.
For Sarah this felt a little like the plot from Daphne du Maurier’s novel Rebecca.

Buffy Sainte-Marie and Tanya Tagaq.
Awhile back my employers at the Polaris Music Prize managed to get past champions Buffy Sainte-Marie and Tanya Tagaq together in a room to collaborate on a song called “You Got To Run (Spirit Of The Wind).”
As a piece of bonus content, we also turned the making of the song into a full Polaris Podcast episode.
You can listen to the episode below.

Neil deGrasse Tyson
Celebrities. What do they know? Do they know things?
Yes, it turns out. Some of them, mostly kinda secretly, know how to fight.
Some of these semi-secret fighters include science man Neil deGrasse Tyson, street fightin’ man Mick Jagger and dancer in the dark Courteney Cox.
To find out how we know this, head over to Asian World Of Martial Arts to read Sarah’s story about it by clicking here.

Jeff Burrows
Back in late-May Tea Party drummer Jeff Burrows pulled off his eleventh 24 hour drum marathon to support local charities in Windsor, Ontario.
Such an outlandish feat deserved some attention so I spoke to him about it, as well as his new drum tech-for-hire scheme, for Samaritanmag.
