George on Rikidozan

Puro Pourri Podcast

Join your host David Forrest for some highbrow literary chat as he introduces his guest George Twigg (who is in no way related to George Thompson of this podcast) to discuss his novel "The Rise and Fall of Rikidozan". In this, interview recorded last year and released now in its entirety for the first time, the author gives some insight into his creative process and influences and answers Twitter questions such as "Why on earth did you do this?" and "Seriously, why did you do this?", drawing the listener into the dark and fascinating world of the birth of Japanese professional wrestling and its leading light, Rikidozan.
