    <description>Sumo Kaboom! 
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. Ever.
We also occasionally send out sumo related content. It is NOT hard-hitting sumo journalism and is usually very silly. If you want to receive our writing about all things sumo or receive notification when Sumo BINGO cards are available, join our Substack below. We won't ever share your info, because we hate spam, too.

  <description>The banzuke is so exciting that we decided to break it into 2 weeks. This first week, we'll chat about who is at the very top - the sanyaku. And, of course, we'll talk about Ura, the newest wrestler to this elite level.
Why is Ura's story so amazing? Why do people love him so much?

  <description>New to November's sanyaku (though 2 of these guys have been here before), THE 3 T's. Which wrestler is nicknamed Riceball? Which one is known for his big feet? Which one fears ghosts? Which one used to play the lead in his school plays? There's oh so much delightful information to share about these boys!
