This week, I’m joined by DS Shin—Emmy Award-winning producer for NBC and the visionary creator and host of the hit YouTube series Ring the Belle. Known for celebrating women’s wrestling and amplifying the stories of iconic female wrestlers, DS has built a beloved platform rooted in fandom, journalism, and representation. In this conversation, we explore his creative journey and how Ring the Belle became a space that honors wrestling history while pushing the culture forward.
In this episode, DS opens up about the inspiration behind Ring the Belle and what motivated him to center women’s wrestling at a time when it wasn’t always given the visibility it deserved. We talk about how he built one of YouTube’s top women’s wrestling platforms, the responsibility that comes with storytelling, and the importance of uplifting voices that are often overlooked in mainstream media.
We also dive into memorable interviews, fan-led storytelling, and why representation truly matters—not just in wrestling, but across all creative spaces. DS reflects on the power of community, the role of passion in building something meaningful, and how media can be both empowering and entertaining when it’s created with intention and care.
