This is a special episode of joshi'ing around for me, as I had the honour to welcome one of my favourite podcast co-hosts onto the show, it is the lovely lea from Tunnel Talk!

This is a rather extraordinary episode, as I was originally invited as a guest on doc's podcast "The P[w]rescription", but we then decided that it would just make for a great standalone episode for Joshi'ing around as well! We talk about many things from each of our individual fandoms of joshi, to STARDOM and why they are doing so well right now, to some analysis of the recently fi...

In the eleventh episode Chris Whitehead came up with a fun concept for a special episode, when joshi wrestlers are taken out of their usual comfort zone in two examples that we have various personal experiences with. First we discuss episode 3x13 of Lucha Underground when Kairi Hojo, Mayu Iwatani and Io Shirai went up against Pentagon Dark and then we go on to talk about our experiences at Sukeban...

In episode 9 I have my good friend Eric aka snazzy from the UK with me who was able to jump in last minute which I am very grateful for. We met to talk about TWO Jaguar Yokota vs Lioness Asuka matches, the first one is their legendary bout from AJW Summer Night Festival on 8/22/1985 and as a bonus we also watched a second one from the Jd' promotion 13 years later on 1/11/1998. From there we br...

In this special episode Chris and I are talking about Syuri vs Sareee. "Which one", I hear you ask? Well, why not both! In a special new format we met before STARDOM's "The Conversion" and recorded our thoughts on the first match and the entire build and history between Syuri and Sareee and previewed the second one with all our predictions of what we think might happen. Then we...

Jared joins me in episode 7 to talk about AZM vs Starlight Kid. Specifically their match from February 23rd 2022. It is one of the more famous matches in the history of Stardom and we had a lot of fun discussing all the wild exchanges and the high speed style. We also talk about Eddie Guererro and the American Indies. Follow Jared on Bluesky! @jaewinn1.bsky.social‬ Check out the Social Suplex News...

In episode 6 I am joined by author and writer Mike Meginnis to talk about a legendary match from 2001, a match that arguably made the career of Meiko Satomura who retired very recently, on the day 24 years later. We also talk different goals in wrestling fandom and our damaged society. Buy Mike's book "Drowning Practice"! https://bsky.app/profile/mikemeginnis.bsky.social Check out the...

In the 5th episode of Joshi'ing around my guest Maj from the Emotional Support Wrestling Podcast and I talk about the main event tag team match from Sareee-ISM Chapter V in a completely sold out Shinjuku FACE.

It is a special episode 4 for the Joshi'ing around podcast, as my lovely guest Trish from the Trish & Sarah Wrestling Podcast and I talk about not just a single match, but the entire All Star Grand Queendom show from 4/27/2025 in Yokohama Arena which turned out to be a monumental achievement for the STARDOM promotion, the end of an era in many ways and a new beginning. We also ventured off...

For the third episode of Joshi'ing around my friend Seff watched Akira Hokuto vs Shinobu Kandori from the legendary Dreamslam 1 on 4/2/1993 in Yokohama Arena.

For the second episode of Joshi'ing around my friend Ariel watched Natsupoi vs Starlight Kid from 12/29/2024 in Ryogoku Kokugikan. In front of over 4000 people these women battled for the White Belt in a phenomenally emotional match and I was there for it live! We talk about that as well as Ariel's first impressions of these two women, her many thoughts on the match and joshi as a whole! m...
