Sumo Kaboom

The week's episode is all about art, from the artist and sumo wrestler Kototsurugi to Ukiyo-e prints and modern manga. Also, boobs. And mangos. And dinosaurs. And Patrick Swayze and Harrison Ford. It's informative and little kooky. And, very, very "adult."

**Eros Armstrong **is the heavyweight representative on the 2020 Women's U.S. National Sumo Team. She's athletic, talented, and driven to be the best. And, she wants to bring more women into the sport.

Eros speaks eloquentrly about soul combat, warrior spirit, and leading other women to the sport of sumo - either through sumo clinics like the one at the WINS tournament or by walking up to other women at the grocery story and telling them that they would be good in sumo.

We love learning new things, so this week, we decided it was time to focus on the contributions that POC have made to sumo wrestling. From myth and legend to modern history, there's plenty to explore here. Today, we celebrate Yasuke, Henry Sentoryu Miller, and "Tiny" Manny Yarbrough.
