Rune makes the case that football chants are one of humanity’s greatest and loudest communal art forms. Stefan, meanwhile, would prefer if everyone just sat down and used their indoor voices. Joining them is Jorge Knijnik, Brazilian-Australian academic and lifelong football devotee, and Caroline Carnegie, CEO of Melbourne Victory, to unpack why chanting isn't just noise. It's belonging, carnival, and controlled war all at once. Learn how fans, stadiums, and police make sure the few who cross the line don't define the many who are simply there to sing. Along the way, Rune traces the Aussie Aussie Aussie chant back to Cornish pasty sellers, and follows a Gloria Gaynor disco track through Dutch pop music to the streets of Paris. This episode is about what it means to be part of something bigger than yourself, and how chanting is how we get there.
