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.

After this episode aired, we received this correction from John Traill of the International Sumo Federation. "Ishiura's father is definitely not from Mongolia. You have jumbled him up my good mate Gantugs Rentsendorj. He is the main Mongolian connection as coach at Tottori Johoku. He was incredible on the dohyo and super tough for his size. He won the Sumo World Championships in 2012 against a slap happy Bulgarian despite his neck injury." We pledge to continue to try our best GANBATTE and let you know if we make mistakes HUMBLE BOW. We'll tell you a little bit about what it's like to go to a powerhouse sumo high school, either Saitama or Tottori High. We'll also tell you a sumo related story based on Sweet Valley High, a YA book series. It includes Onosato, is completely fictional, and oh so reminscent of our youth.
