    Wonderful show that explores boxing films, including those of the early days, including special episodes like the one with Mike Kunda of the Yo! Rocky Film Tour, great stuff, and I look forward to more!

  • My Heavyweights

    Great series. William talking about his favourite moment being a George fan was brilliant. You could hear the excitement in his voice and can only imagine him at that moment. Keep up the good work Steve. Great great podcast

  • Perfect combination.

    The two subjects, I have always gravitated to. Steve lets the podcast breathe and encourages his guests to fully expand with their responses. Which they do because of his enthusiasm and knowledge.

    My particular favourites are : Champion, The Set-up, Body and Soul, The Harder they Fall, The Streetfighter, Somebody up their Likes Me and Cinderella Man. The latter, especially as new light on Baer was highlighted on a recent podcast on here, thank you.
