Katie Szewczyk, a freshman originally from Garfield, New Jersey, is one half of the dedicated duo that puts on a new podcast every week here at Pace. Her and her partner, Alex Meister, produce Right in the Kayfabe every Friday, courtesy of WPAW. Sitting down with Szewczyk, a film major, I found out more about her and her podcast.
Q: When do you and your partner produce the podcast?
A: We put on the podcast Fridays from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Q: What is your podcast specifically about?
A: Mainly our podcast is about professional wrestling.
Q: The title of your podcast is Right in the Kayfabe. What exactly does that mean?
A: So kayfabe is a wrestling term that means that something is presented as real but is still actually scripted. So basically since we cover news from stuff behind the scenes it was basically like you got hit “right in the kayfabe”- kind of like how people say they got hit “right in the feels”, because we’re uncovering the scripted stuff that was passed off by the company as real.
Q: How long have you been interested in professional wrestling? Do you have any experience in the sport?
A: I haven’t wrestled myself, but I have been watching the shows for about seven years. I’ve also attended many of their live shows, and read about backstage news daily.
Q: How did you get involved with doing a podcast about wrestling?
A: At the beginning of the year, I joined WPAW and signed up for a podcast time slot after I was trained with the equipment.
Q: What do you like about doing the podcast?
A: I really like that I can talk about one of my passions to others that understand what I’m discussing.
Q: Will you be doing the podcast next semester as well?
A: I’m still not sure if I’ll end up still doing it next semester, but if I do it’ll be at the same time!
