Sumo Kaboom!
A weekly podcast dedicated to our favorite sport - sumo wrestling. We chat about tournaments, current events, history and our favorite wrestlers.
Both Collins sisters are performers, improvisers, and creators and have absolutely no sumo training. But, they 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, they serve up exciting sumo treats for sumo-curious fans. These kooky sisters share an enthusiasm for sumo and like all sisters, they 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.

213: Days 4-9 of the May Basho
So. Many. Injuries. We never like seeing this. But, we may have a first-time winner at this basho. And, for a few days there, we could say that Ura was in the lead, and that was fun!

212: Days 1-3 of the May Basho 2024
This discussion of the May basho moves from great sumo to unfortunate and confusing sumo. What was he thinking? How did he do that? And, wow what an unfortunate picture.
Sumo is always great fun and terrifying at the same time. We're here for it.

209: Sumo Wrestlers Sing!
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?

208: A Tribute to Akebono
Akebono was the very first foreign-born man to reach the level of yokozuna. He remains a bridge between cultures and will be remembered for his ferocity and size in the ring, his generosity, kindness and care for others outside the ring.
Thank you to John Jacques, Bumbo Kalima, and Lynn Matsuoka for sharing your memories of Chad (who later became Akebono). You knew him personally, and you give us all the gift of your stories.
