A weekly podcast dedicated to our favorite sport - sumo wrestling. We chat about tournaments, current events, history and our favorite wrestlers. We are performers, improvisers, and creators and have absolutely no sumo training. But, we are huge sumo fans. Having lived in Japan, Leslie loves the history and traditions of sumo. She also has a deep love for sumo karaoke singers. Laurie is fascinated by sumo wrestler fandom, the sumo training regimen and physicality of the sport. Together, we serve up exciting sumo treats for sumo-curious fans. We share an enthusiasm for sumo and like all sisters, we work amazingly well together. All of the time. There are never any issues.

Yes, really. 28:23 no You’ll discover that Aonishiki is very professional and also pretty funny, something that delighted us. We talk sumo, training, living in Japan, and finish up with a lightening round of questions like “what’s your favorite movie,” and that’s where his personality really shines. And, none of this could have happened without a lot of help from Aonishiki, the JSA, Ajigawa Beya, Ajigawa oyakata and okamisan, Angie, and Sayaka.
