Final Stage Podcast Episode 19: Sasuke 1 Review: Back to Where it All Began (featuring Rich from Armchair Ninja Podcast)

Everything has to start somewhere, and Sasuke is no exception! For this episode we travel all the way back to 1997 and watch the very first Sasuke tournament. Back then, the course was indoors, the contestants were brand new to the course, and there were hardly any water pits. Join William, Arsenette, and our special guest Rich from the Armchair Ninja Podcast as we go back to where it all began and review Sasuke 1!

Also, we talk Team Ninja Warrior: College Madness, the opening of applications for both ANW9 and Sasuke 33 and we all answer your questions!

Final Stage Podcast Episode 18: VIKING!!! (And ANW, I guess)

Before Ninja Warrior debuted on G4, ESPN began airing a different obstacle course show from the same people producing Sasuke at the time. That show was called Viking. With marine themed courses and many familiar faces, join William and Arsenette as they talk about the original, family and celebrity versions of Viking, featuring runs from Nagano, Yamada, Akiyama, Yamamoto, Sato, Komiya, HG, and even The Octopus! Now that I think about it, having The Octopus compete on a nautical theme obstacle course makes a lot of sense. No wonder he did better on that show.

Also, we talk about the finale of ANW 8, Esquire's Ninja Warrior marathon, and more!
