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.

Kotoeko and a Whole Lotta Retirement Goin’ On
Kotoeko announced his retirement, and his fans are heartbroken. Akiseyama and Ishiura had their retirement ceremonies, and we are loving their new hair cuts.
Retirement is just one part of a professional sumo wrestler's life. Luckily, it is as celebrated as any other phase.

Congratulations to our BINGO winners, Rafael (and family) and Peter, who came in super fast with BINGOs on day 11 and 13. After BINGO and a little news, we jump right into the sumo on day 10.
Enjoy our breakdown of the co-leaders' fights on the final days of the May 2024 basho. What a blast!

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.

Just right
Perfect mix every week of Sumo news, gossip and analysis, mixed with a humility and sense of humor that makes me smile.
Yay!
Great podcast! Love sumo!! Such a good January tournament
THISSSS
This is the podcast I've been looking for: informative, professional. So much of being a gaijin sumo fan with dirty gaijin eyes is struggling to watch tournaments and get information. I spend a lot of time listening to weird dudes on YouTube yelling into microphones. This is great.
