    <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>We were treated to a charity sumo event recently. Not only did the wrestlers do sumo for us, THEY SANG. And, our hearts always go pitterpat when these boys sing. Today, we are breaking down the music and performances at the Kanjin Sumo Charity event. Who sang? Who got the crowd going? Who looked like the perfect professional?

  <description>The sumo association hosted their first Sumo Belly Touching event in June, 2023, and it was a HUGE hit. With us anyway. Mainly because it featured a lot of karaoke, and singing is one of our favorite things about sumo. Shodai, Ura, Ichiyamamoto, Hiradoumi, and Sadanoumi all sang!
