The Joshi Pod

This episode is a special one.

We welcome to the show from Pro Wrestling Wave, Yuki Miyazaki. She has been a favorite of mine for many, many years.

Yuki came into the business in a time where training was brutal. She persevered and succeeded in wrestling.

She is still going strong, having amazing matches.

Yuki talks about mixing deathmatch and comedy into wrestling.

It was a sincere pleasure speaking with her.

We hope to have many more from Pro Wrestling Wave on the show.

Thank you, Derek Kolterman for interpreting.

We are joined by one of the true rising stars on the Joshi scene, Maria!

Maria is part of the VERY talented group of wrestlers from Marvelous.

If you thought she was a star before, wait until you hear her speak from the heart about her career. 

Maria is a superstar!

The interview was recorded outside of Shinkiba 1st Ring in November. Tommy from the Marvelous office helped onsite by translating and asking the questions. Thanks to Joe Pastula for taking the time to translate this for us!

We are working on translating other interviews done that day with Mio Momono, Takumi Iroha and Rin Kadokura.

These episodes are not possible without Tommy and Joe.

On the first episode of the 2022 Joshi Pod Revival, we are joined by the great Ladybeard.

It is a sometimes serious, sometimes motivational, but always fun conversation.

We talk about wrestling Joshi legends, going viral and the journey to becoming an all-around entertainer.

Ladybeard is a wonderful person to chat with. Ladybeard is more than ponytails, kawaii outfits and a booming voice. There is a drive and want to be successful and a never give up attitude inside that hairy body. Very admirable. 

Please have a listen.

It's the Third Annual Joshi Draft!

We are joined by JPQ from PWI’s “Just Joshi” podcast and JD from the 'RedLeaf Retrocast'.

Unfortunately K from the ‘Big Egg Joshi Podcast’ could not join us because he is off saving the world. We miss you K!

One person was not enough to fill K’s large Andre The Giant sized shoes, so we had to bring on two new people.

Dylan Murray from Deadlock Pro Wrestling, Last Word on Pro Wrestling and the ‘Victory Through Guts/Stardom Quest’ podcasts joins the draft for the first time.

Also, Grizzly FOG from the Smart Talk Podcast selects a really fun team his first time in the draft

The five of us select 10 Joshi wrestlers, no 11 Joshi wrestlers…what, we call an audible and select 12 Joshi wrestlers and a legendary coach to start our new Joshi companies.

Who went number 1? -Listen to find out!

Who made the worst selection?-You tell us!

Were we idiots for not drafting someone?-Yes...the same person again! Sorry!

Can The Joshi Pod repeat as champion?-Probably?

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!
