From 2022, John, B.J. and Greg sit down with Texan Colton Runyan, then a member of ⁠Club Bears of X-3 football⁠ and former player in Tokyo's Urban Football League. Colton also is a former player in the United Kingdom with Cambridge University and the ⁠Cambridgeshire Cats⁠ of the ⁠British American Football Association⁠. In addition to his football career, Colton is also a trained sumo wrestler whom our own John Gunning has come to know while reporting on his training and career for the Japan Times (⁠⁠"Sumo makes its way to Cambridge" Japan Times, by John Gunning⁠). At the time of recording, Colton was pursuing a doctorate from Cambridge University, with his research focus being that of premodern sumo wrestling.  The four also review the games of Week 2 in Super X-League play, with B.J. providing the type of insight on the week that was, which only a former player and coach can provide. Gridiron Japan livestreams over at Gridiron Japan Television on YouTube at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.gridironjapantv.net⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, on Facebook at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.facebook.com/GridironJapan.jp⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and on⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ X at Gridiron Japan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Sumo is Japan's national sport. Its origins go back more than 1,500 years, and it rarely leaves Japan. But some competitions are starting to tour - including The Grand Sumo Tournament, which recently happened in London. Wrestlers often start training from a very young age, and training is intense. It involves building strength and fitness - and eating. A lot. They consume around 10,000 calories a day. The BBC's Mariko Oi is from Japan. She talks us through all we need to know about the sport. We also hear from 21-year-old Aonishiki Arata. He's one of Ukraine's top wrestlers and now lives and trains in Japan. And two fans share why they love the sport.

In the same week President Donald Trump brings a ceasefire and plans for a permanent peace in the Middle East, could he also be preparing for war in his own backyard? He ended this week authorizing CIA action in Venezuela to target the drug trade and the flow of illegal migrants, as the U.S. continues to blow up boats off the coast there. And while Trump stopped short of saying the U.S. is pushing for regime change in Venezuela, Maria Corina Machado, the country's opposition leader and winner of this year's Nobel Peace Prize, is calling for just that. Christiane spoke to her from an undisclosed location about why she supports Trump's military intervention against Maduro and why she has dedicated her Nobel award to Trump. Then, as Trump's ceasefire plan between Israel and Hamas in Gaza moves to phase two, Christiane speaks to Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty. who helped broker the deal about his hopes amid the many roadblocks ahead. Plus, a special CNN investigation by Stefano Pozzebon uncovers the abuses and harassment faced by female workers in Guatemala's garment factories. Also on the show, Christiane speaks with renowned historian Thant Myint-U about his new book "Peacemaker," and his grandfather U Thant, the former UN Secretary General, who played a crucial role in resolving massive events like the Cuban Missile crisis.  From her archives this week, Christiane emphasizes the need for courageous leadership in the Middle East by spotlighting the legacy of a true warrior for peace : former Israeli Foreign Minister, Prime Minister and President, Shimon Peres, who despite facing backlash at home never stopped believing in peace. And finally, from peace warrior to Sumo warriors. Far from home, more than 40 of Japan's top heavyweights have taken the British capital by storm for the first Sumo championship in the UK in more than thirty years. Air date: October 18th, 2025 Guests: Maria Corina Machado     Badr Abdelatty Thant Myint-U Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 326 The world's first major climate tipping point has been triggered. The decimation of warm water coral populations caused by rising temperatures is now irreversible - passing the point of no return. The global consequences of widescale coral dieback could be catastrophic, so experts are sounding the alarm. But is anyone listening? A man with paralysis has telepathically controlled the hands of another person. Keith Thomas is unable to move or feel through his hands. But thanks to a new advancement, using brain and muscle electrodes, he was able to control the hands of a non-paralysed woman using his thoughts alone. Could this one day lead to Avatar-like body control technology? For only the second time in its 1,500-year history, professional Sumo wrestling has left Japan. A Grand Sumo Tournament is being held at London's Albert Hall, where over 40 elite wrestlers are competing in a five day tournament. Sumo writer John Gunning discusses the physics of sumo, the incredible diets of the wrestlers and the worrying consequences of the sport on their longevity.

Mit der WR 125 in den Versionen R und X schickte Yamaha ab 2009 eine Enduro und eine Supermoto an den Start. Besonders die Sumo fand großen Anklang in der 125er-Gemeinde, wobei bei Fans des Drecks unter den Stollenreifen auch die R als Enduro hoch im Kurs stand. Nachdem die Ära der WR 125 2017 ein Ende fand, hat sich Yamaha ganz aktuell an die glorreiche Zeit mit den zwei 125er wieder erinnert und als Neuheit die WR 125 R als Enduro wieder aufgelegt. Wir haben das neue Einstiegs-Enduromodell in der 15 PS-Klasse genau unter die Lupe genommen und gehen direkt in den Vergleich mit der Vorgängerin. Was ist neu bei der R? Und was sieht aus wie beim letzten Modell, beziehungsweise: Wo fallen die Unterschiede richtig gering aus? Und wo ist die WR kaum wiederzuerkennen, falls es so etwas bei neuen Enduro-Typen überhaupt gibt? Weil Host Moritz zu seiner 125er-Zeit zudem selbst eine WR 125 bewegte, gibt's auch gleich noch ein paar Infos aus erster Hand zur älteren WR 125 dazu – zu den Stärken und den Schwächen im Dauerbetrieb.

Most of us dream to some extent. Some can barely remember most dreams, while others can dream so vividly that they can even control and manipulate their subconscious ruminations. But what exactly are dreams? And how are they related to the general idea of consciousness? On the latest, semi-lucid, episode of 4Thirty, Ben and Pat hit the snooze button a few too many times as they sleep on plenty of different topics regarding the significance of dreams to humans, and they sleep-walk through several general theories on consciousness and spirituality in the process. They guys also bring their usual robust package of news stories to the table this week, and Pat gives his bi-monthly Sumo update that most listeners probably were not waiting for. Did the Enlightenment philosopher Descartes solve an anatomical enigma that explains how biology and spirituality could intertwine to project the human soul? Are dreams really a gateway towards actual interdimensional travel? Is consciousness strictly a human characteristic? Could remote-viewers be astro-projecting themselves subconsciously through their dreams? For answers to these questions and a night-time's worth more, please don't sleep on the latest episode of 4Thirty in the Morning!

The Royal Albert Hall was the unlikely venue for the biggest Sumo wrestling tournament ever staged outside of Japan on 9th October, 1991. Around forty wrestlers, described in the press as “bouncing like fat Buddhas,” thundered across a ring on clay sourced from a field near Heathrow.  Part of the grand Japan Festival - a four-month cultural takeover marking 100 years of the Japan Society, including kabuki at the National Theatre and Buddhist sculptures at the British Museum - demand for tickets was sky-high, thanks to Channel 4's cult Friday night sumo broadcasts. A Shinto-style canopy was shipped over, and reinforced hotels were arranged for the athletes, complete with detachable showers, reinforced beds, and double-sized meals to help them hit their 7,000-calorie daily target. The lineup featured stars with nicknames like “The Killer Whale,” “The Plum,” and the 37-stone “Dump Truck,” Konishiki Yasokichi. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly consider the impact the festival had on introducing Londoners to Japanese culture; reveal why the wrestlers had a pit-stop in Anchorage on their way to England; and explain why some fans didn't tell their colleagues they were attending… Further Reading: • ‘Albert Hall hosts first sumo tournament held outside Japan' (The Guardian, 1991): https://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/2013/oct/10/sumo-wrestling-royal-albert-hall • ‘Sumo Wrestling's Solid Foundation in the UK and Europe' (SportsLook, 2023): https://featured.japan-forward.com/sportslook/sumo-wrestlings-solid-foundation-in-the-uk-and-europe/ • ‘Sumo: Terao v Kotogaume 1991 (London)': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fa0TrLXi-uk #Japan #Sport #London #90s Love the show?
