Sumo Kaboom: Daily Summaries Delivered
by Sumo Kaboom Podcast
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.

314: Nishikifuji. Who is he?
He's a wrestler in the Isegahama stable, and he did well in July's tournament, so what can we expect from him? We know random things about this sumo wrestler - dad of twins, friendly rival of Midorifuji and Onosho (remember him?), a guy with lots of injuries and a wonderful singing voice.

Shishi is he's having his best tournament yet. He has defied expectations and we are cheering him on!
