In this episode of Real College Podcast, we’re heading into the world of sports— just not the ones you’re used to seeing in the spotlight. From bowling alleys to climbing walls, we’re exploring overlooked sports and the communities and cultures that surround them. So lace up your bowling shoes, get your climbing gear ready— (and however you prepare for karate and breakdancing) we’ve got you covered.

First, Hayden Lessiter talks with a bowling expert, diving into the skill and unexpected depth behind the sport. Next, Gimmick Doboszenski looks into rock climbing and its community. Then, Colin Nettesheim takes us into the art and athleticism of breakdancing, and finally, Alexandra Denisova gives us a peek into her karate class.
