S6E11 -- 2024 UMWC Race Review with Gary Wang, Steve King, Ultra Chamba, and Jen Annett
This episode has a number of past guests rejoining the podcast to discuss the 2024 Ultraman World Championships. First up are two of the four people who were inducted into the Ultraman Hall of Fame at this year's Thanksgiving breakfast. Gary Wang, who is a 20 time consecutive UMWC finisher, and Steve King (the voice of Ultraman).
I also check in with the two winners of the event. The men’s champion, Juan Bautista Castilla Arroyo, AKA Ultra Chamba, and the overall/women’s champion, Jen Annett.
