    99 River Street
    2026/08/31

    In this episode, Kari Hansbarger joins me to discuss the brilliant boxing film noir, 99 River Street (1953), directed by Phil Karlson, and starring John Payne and Evelyn Keyes.

    Kari describes herself as a classic film buff, which was a passion she inherited from mum. She also grew up watching boxing with my father, so this podcast sits right at the intersection of both of those interests. She has been a fan of film noir since she was in college in the 1990s and now co-hosts live film noir watch parties on Bluesky every week.

  • Bonus episode - Great White Hopes

    Bonus episode - Great White Hopes
    2026/08/03

    Following on from my last episode about the film The Great White Hype, I thought it was worth having a bonus episode to look at the concept of Great White Hopes in boxing. Where does that term come from and what the impact was? Which fighters in history were given that label? Is it still in use?

    Joining me for this discussion is Charles Farrell. He will be a familiar name to regular listeners to this podcast and my other podcast, Desert Island Fights.

    Even if you are not particularly interested in boxing, hopefully this cultural and historical background will be of interest.

    Charles has two books out that I would highly recommend -

    The Legend of Mitch "Blood" Green and Other Boxing Essays, which you can buy here and (Low)life: A Memoir of Jazz, Fight-Fixing, and the Mob, which you can buy here.
