The Englishman | The English Disease – Episode 2

Legacy – Season 4: Defiant | Available Monday 10th November Eric Morante was a boy torn between boxing and the Marines when – on September 11th, 2001 – the decision became clear. Defiant traces Eric's journey to the US Marines, through deserts, disasters, and one life-changing day where a whole new struggle began. It asks us to consider what can be achieved when sport becomes therapy, when we strive to push past the limits we place on ourselves, and when community is valued above all else. Defiant is not just a story about boxing – it’s about what it means to lose everything and still choose to fight. Episode One drops Monday, 10th November. Subscribe now. Extraordinary sporting stories that really matter. From Stak, this is&nbsp;Defiant, the fourth series of the award-winning&nbsp;Legacy. You can listen to Seasons 1-3 right now. Season 3: Dancing With Shadows – New York City Ballet is celebrated as one of the world's greatest ballet institutions. But behind the beauty, there's a more complicated history. Season 2: The English Disease – There was a time when football hooliganism was everywhere. For decades it dominated headlines, merging the two things England loves most: football and fear.&nbsp;We dig&nbsp;deeper – beyond the stereotypes and tabloid headlines – to understand what first brought people to this violent, sprawling subculture, and how it has forced its way back into our society today. ‘Best Podcast’ winner at the 2025 Sports Journalism Association Awards. Season 1: Inside the Qatar World Cup – Ahead of football’s showpiece event controversially landing in Qatar, we hear from those whose lives have been touched by it and speak to migrant workers who were sold a dream – and then lured into a nightmare. ‘Best Audio Documentary’ winner at the 2023 Sports Journalism Association Awards.<hr> Hosted on Acast.
