RoShamBo : Unique Competitions, Extraordinary Events

Ho ho ho-boy is this the most magical time of the year? Yes. Yes, it is. And if one Santa is good, a bunch of Santas doing Santa things is gooder, right?

A scandal erupted at the World Stone Skimming Championship in Scotland when several competitors were disqualified for tampering with their stones. RoShamBo co-host and Stone Skimming competitor, Ted Ladue, has the story. 

Happy anniversary to us! Thank you for 5 fun and funny years! In this episode, we recap some of our favorite competitions plus we visit with Chef Chris Hall of Roshamo Diner in Atlanta, Georgia. Yes, It's true! There's a new restaurant in our hometown named Roshambo, and Chef Hall shares his story and connection to our namesake: Rock, Paper, Scissors. 

How do you take your tea? Maybe with a smidgen of sugar or a splash of milk? Or perhaps you prefer your tea to be delivered to you on top of a racecar? Well, the creators of Splendid Teapot Racing have you covered. Head over to RoShamBoPodcast.com for pictures and more!

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.
