The May 2022 Grand Sumo Tournament is almost upon us! In this episode we take a look at the Natsu banzuke, try to make sense of why various rikishi were moved up or down the ranks, and indulge our wicked fantasies. We also show a little love for the winners of the 2022 US Sumo National Championships, and then get all riled up about some fascist jerks in the 1920s who wouldn't just let girls do sumo in the movie 'The Chrysanthemum and the Guillotine.'"

This is a continuation of our series of interviews with the founders of sumo clubs from all over the US. What is it like to start your own sumo club? What are the risks and rewards? Where can you set up practice space? What are good ways to recruit new members? Who's going to make the chankonabe this week? In this episode we talk to Nicholas Ton and Paul Gutierrez of Shogeki Sumo Club in Houston, Texas about how kids make the best sumo fans, recruiting anime fans, and how everyone is a fan of shirtless Paul.

What happened to our yokozuna? Is Ura in over his head? How did 2019 Takayasu find that time machine? Can Shodai shake off the lingering effects of the plague to stay at ozeki? Will Elon Musk reveal the "sumo champion" he bested, or will he finally admit he just likes to make stuff up to trick people into thinking he's cool? We examine these questions and more in episode 6 of the Sumo Punx Podcast, where we cover the first week of the Grand Sumo March Tournament!

We're back! After a short hiatus we're dropping this new episode about various aspects of being a sumo fan, especially playing fantasy sumo! We dive into the banzuke to choose our fantasy rikishi, explore the intense world of Japanese cheer squads, and discuss our favorite website to throw our money at in exchange for shiny sumo trinkets. We're gearing up for the March tournament and have many exciting new things coming at you in the near future. We know you're going to miss the sweet tunes we usually recommend at the end of each episode, so we're starting a new project that's just focused on the music so that Sumo Punx can be more focused on the sumo. It's a win-win! Thanx for listening! :D
