This week, we talk about the Baby Crying Festival, the science behind the sumo physique, and why sumo wrestlers attract such female attention. 

"I've always seen pictures of sumo wrestlers holding babies, and I always thought it had to be just because of the obvious similarity in clothing and tubbiness. But. there's actually much, much, much more." Sumo Kaboom<a rel="payment" href="https://ko-fi.com/sumokaboom">Support Sumo Kaboom</a>

Babies, Bodies and Babes

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. 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, because we hate spam, too.
