EPISODE SUMMARY

Sadly, the planned relaunch of the former Gridiron Japan Radio podcast on SHN did not go as planned this past week, and we do very much apologize. However, we had some unaired episodes still left in our vault and want to share them with you, including this one- Gridiron Gyudon. In this episode, Greg St. James sits down with student filmmaker Parker Benningfield who in January 2026 visited Japan and filmed a documentary about the X League Rice Bowl, the Super Bowl of Japan. You can watch his documentary on YouTube, and while you are at it, please like and subscribe to his page. To watch it, please click https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuBtbT1E7KY

GRIDIRON AMERICA RADIO BACKGROUND

Gridiron America Radio (formerly, the From the 55 Yardline podcast), is anchored by former sports executive David Cieslinski, former international professional football player Mike Tackett, and football nerd Greg St. James, from Gridiron Japan Radio.

All three are avid armchair sports historians and sports simulation enthusiasts, who, despite the vastness of geography, have found a way to leverage technology to help keep the games they love truly alive, both on the screen or tabletop.

Gridiron America Radio is dedicated to both current and historical American football talk, including the “what if” questions that all sports fans ask and try to answer with the help of statistics, math and computer modeling provided by Sportsmaster Simulation Games www.SportsMaster-Simulation.games. In addition to the gridiron game, the team will on occasion look at other sports through the same eyes of that of grown men who still remember their childhood and the thrill of rolling the dice or picking up a joystick.

The show was previously co-hosted by retired sports journalist Scott Adamson, whose continued writings. sports coverage and articles can be found at www.Adamsonmedia.com.
