Extraordinary sporting stories that really matter. From Stak, this is Legacy.

Season 4: Defiant - 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. This is not just a story about boxing – it’s about what it means to lose everything and still choose to fight.

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. We dig 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.
