De Buffalo Bitches, 20 Jaar Later | Episode 3

Italian premiere in the presence of the author.
De Buffalo Bitches has awarded the PRIX EUROPA Best European Radio Fiction Series of the Year 2022.

In the early 2000s, a very young radio student discovered the Buffalo Bitches, the female hooligan club of KAA Gent. Eva Moeraert made a moving mockumentary about Kimberley and Tiffany, the only two members of the club. Their love for their soccer club is unbreakable, and the two become close friends. Twenty years later, Eva goes looking for the two Bitches again. A search that takes her far beyond Gent. Tiffany and Kimby haven’t spoken, seen, or hit each other in years. 

The ladies are no longer friends and the Buffalo Bitches no longer exist. As a matter of fact, not since 2010, when Kimberley fell in love with a hooligan from FC Utrecht. She now lives in the Netherlands and works hard to support her husband and children. Tiffany has always stayed loyal to the club. She now works in the Albert Heijn supermarket in Gent stadium and is still trying to get the attention of their beloved player Gunther Schepens.

In this series, Eva is trying to organise a reunion of the Buffalo Bitches and iron out the issues between the ladies. So that the Buffalo Bitches can shine again and cheer together.

In this third episode, Eva tries to find out exactly what happened between Kimberley and Tiffany…

Eva Moeraert worked for the Belgian public radio for 11 years; today she is an independent audio producer and lecturer in audio journalism at the Artevelde University College in Ghent. She initiated and has led Podlab XL, a training program for podcasters interested in nonfiction genres. Eva is co-organiser of a podcast festival in Gent and writes about podcasts for De Morgen.
