Alex from England and avid fan of sumo wrestling joins your hosts, Ben and Burke, on the show today. We talk about many things such as the rules of the sport, salary and pay, scandals, the popularity of the sport, and much much much more!

As mentioned in today’s show, there is a documentary, by the Guardian newspaper,  that looks into women’s amateur sumo and the growing popularity among females, which is highly recommended.

We recorded this episode in a music studio and some of the musicians in the neighbouring rooms were a little bit loud, so we apologize if you find the background noise distracting. We will try our best to avoid this in the future. Gomen Nasai!
