Welcome back to Sumo Drop! Film director and film critic Matthew Stogdon is back with filmmaker, writer and podcaster Emma-Jane Corsan & artist and writer Mark Fox to cover the final bouts of Sumo Wrestling's September tournament: the Aki Basho. An extra bumper episode as we discuss another unpredictable rollercoaster ending to a basho. Followed by a lot of post-basho dissection, both of rikishi themselves, our own heya picks and who we think has it in them to go the distance in November. This podcast is designed for both veteran supporters or anyone curious, looking to get into Japan's national sport. For an introduction to the sport, please check out our guide to sumo: https://soundcloud.com/bbgwpod/sumo-drop-guide-to-sumo So chuck some salt in the air and step into the ring, it's time for Sumo Drop!
