Many times I’ve thought of leaving a review of this excellent Sumo Mainichi podcast. Today, however, out of my mind, I found my body penning this glowing appraisal! Sumo is amazing! That is a statement, not just of feeling, but of fact. Dave and Amy bring fresh and honest coverage of each day’s sumo matches. They explain the esoteric underpinnings of sumo, the technique applied by the rikishi, and what’s really going on as time is warped during a bout on the dohyō. I’ve often wondered what is it I enjoy so much about listening to Sumo Mainichi? Why do I look forward to it with such eagerness? The answer is joy! Not just on Nakabi, but on every day’s podcast, Dave and Amy bring joy as they celebrate the wonderful martial art of sumo! Much laughter is shared! If you enjoy sumo, but are not listening to Sumo Mainichi, you’re missing out on a great pleasure and you’re only getting half of the picture. Only the JSA South brings these insights. Thank you, Dave and Amy, for generously sharing your love of sumo with us! -Matt
