  • The Short and Violent Life of Stanley Ketchel

    The Short and Violent Life of Stanley Ketchel
    2025/04/29
    Stanley Ketchel, the Michigan Assassin, was one of the most ferocious fighters of his generation. His fearless, all-action style saw him rip through the middleweight ranks and earn fame across America. But his life outside the ring was as wild as the punches he threw and at just 24-years-old he was murdered, shot in the back like the Wild West outlaws he admired. In this podcast we trace Ketchel's rise from hobo brawler to heavyweight contender, before investigating his murder on a ranch in Missouri. Pop in your mouthguard and fasten your groin guard, because it's a hard-hitting story from the opening bell to the final count.

    Frank Slavin: Adventurer, Soldier and Bare-Knuckle Boxing Champ
    2025/02/02
    Today, we're going back to the dawn of modern boxing, when brutish bare-knuckle contests gave way to only slightly less brutal glove fights. And we're telling the story of Frank Paddy Slavin, bare-knuckle champion, adventurer, and war veteran. A lot of listeners will never have heard of Frank Slavin, but in his time, the Australian heavyweight could stake a claim to being the toughest man on the planet.

    2024/10/28
    Throughout this podcast, we've told stories of boxing greats – fighters who rose to fame on the back of boundless talent and unrelenting hard work. Today's subject isn't one of those fighters. He was lazy, overweight, reckless, and downright dirty. But one night at Yankee Stadium in 1939, he almost pulled off the greatest upset in boxing history against the heavyweight champion of the world.
