The Ace of Marvelous and one of the best in-ring performers in the world, Takumi Iroha, is the guest this episode.
This was recorded right after our interview with Chigusa Nagayo and because Eric wouldn't stop talking to Chigusa, our time with Takumi was cut a bit short.
The length of the podcast doesn't take away from how much fun we had chatting with her.
Takumi and other Marvelous wrestlers will be in San Francisco on May 13 for West Coast Pro Wrestling's Queen of the Indies.

There are Joshi wrestling legends and then there is Chigusa Nagayo.
From humble beginnings, Chigusa worked to become not only a wrestling star, but a pop icon in Japan. People that never watched wrestling know Chigusa Nagayo.
That's why it blows our minds that we have Chigusa on the podcast this episode.
We discuss her entry into the wrestling business and go all the way to her current position as owner of the Marvelous promotion.
Chigusa and some of her Marvelous team will be in San Francisco on May 13 for West Coast Pro Wrestling's Queen of the Indies.

We chat about her growing up in Nagoya and how she had a family friend who was involved with wrestling.

It's the Fourth Annual Joshi Draft!
We are joined by JPQ from PWI’s “Just Joshi” podcast and JD from the 'RedLeaf Retrocast'.
Our rotating 4th person this year is Scott from Fightful, Voices of Wrestling, Wrestling Purist and a few other places. The guy is killing it!
We may have found our permanent fourth. We will have to bring on a fifth in 2024!
The draft is brought to you by PWRevolution x West Coast Pro's Queen of the Indies scheduled for May 13 in San Francisco, California. Tickets can be purchased at www.qoitickets.com!
The four of us select 10 Joshi wrestlers? No, not 11 or 12 Joshi wrestlers.
An audible is called during the draft and we each select 15 Joshi wrestlers and a legend to lead the team.
Well, three of us pick a legend and JPQ had a pick.
Who went number 1?
Who made the worst selection?
Were we idiots for not drafting someone?
Can The Joshi Pod repeat as champion?
You get to decide which roster is the best! A Twitter poll will be pinned to the top of The Joshi Pod's Twitter page.
We had a lot of fun doing this again and we hope you enjoy listening!
