Welcome back to Sumo Drop!

Film director and film critic Matthew Stogdon is back with filmmaker, writer and podcaster Emma-Jane Corsan & artist and writer Mark Fox (technically, with the power of messaging) to cover the first week of Sumo Wrestling's September tournament: the Aki Basho.

Another opening day assessment, as we discuss our randomly assigned stable of "Fake Boys", the various injuries and absences, and all the rankings and results you need to know.

This podcast is designed for both veteran supporters or anyone curious, looking to get into Japan's national sport. For an introduction to the sport, please check out our guide to sumo: https://soundcloud.com/bbgwpod/sumo-drop-guide-to-sumo, additionally, Matt and Em appeared on the Fandomentals podcast covering all the basics, so be sure to tune into that: https://linktr.ee/FandomentalsPodcast

So chuck some salt in the air and step into the ring, it's time for Sumo Drop!
