#65 - Sumo Scandals

Sumo Wrestling is the national sport of Japan, and has been practiced in some form for most likely around 2000 years. It prides itself on its integrity, honor and sportsmanship, and yet considering the innumerable scandals the sport has faced in the past 20 years alone, it could be argued that Sumo is not, in fact, a sport at all. Today's guest is Hannah Lane! You can find her via her Instagram page, and she is also the co-host of our horror movie review podcast that we do together, Not Another Film podcast.

Per un universo più inclusivo.“Apro gli occhi e fisso il soffitto.” Immerso in un presente senza fine, un viaggio tra la paura, i pensieri, lo spazio e le sensazioni di chi non può fare altro che chiudere la porta della propria cameretta, fino a non aprirla mai più. Un tuffo negli occhi, e nella mente di un Hikikomori, che poi alla fine è un po’ anche la nostra.Partendo da voci, testimonianze e racconti, assumiamo le sembianze di una generazione sommersa, e ci facciamo una chiacchierata per sfondare quel muro che, piano piano, ci si può costruire attorno. Ed ecco il mondo a portata Hikikomori.Ogni lunedì su Spotify.E per entrare ancora di più in 9m² visita il sito del progetto http://www.9m².com The Joker's podcast The Joker Hikikomori :giovani in fuga dalla realta
