    The Kinetic Grand Championship

    Although we just found out California's Kinetic Grand Championship is officially canceled for 2021, you can still hear all about this amazing race, lovingly called THE TRIATHLON OF THE ART WORLD. This is a crazy 50-mile race of Kinetic Sculptures with all-terrain human-powered art vehicles, engineered to race over road, water, mud, and sand. It’s for real and it's nuts! You can learn more about the race, plans for a virtual 2021 event, and get excited about 2022 here. ----- Music for RoShamBo is provided by the amazing Cadillac Jones. ----- If you enjoy the episode, please consider leaving us a review on your favorite podcast provider.

  8. The Chiditarod

    The Chiditarod

    “The CHIditarod is a race like none other. It’s a food drive, a race for charity, a beauty pageant, a bar crawl, spontaneous street theater, and not for the faint of heart. It’s fast, furious, cold, creative, exciting, and very, very fun.” This episode originally aired back in 2018, but contains an update from the 2020 race that happened last weekend.  2020 marked the 15th anniversary of the Chiditarod and you can still check out pictures and links on the Chiditarod's original show page on RoShamBoPodcast.com
