STANDS: Against the Run

STANDS: Against the Run is a one-on-one conversation series hosted by Amadeus Thüner and „Die Straße trägt St. Pauli“. Each episode features a creative, activist, or thinker whose work exists at the intersection of streetwear, subculture, and football-inspired culture — and who has chosen to take a stand. From the terraces to the dance floor, from independent zines to global collaborations, these are stories of people shaping culture, not just consuming it. Guests bring a personal object — a shirt, a banner, a zine, a cassette — as a starting point for a conversation about roots, resistance, and the realities of cultural work today. Grounded in the ethos of STANDS, this podcast is a cultural archive in the making: slow, considered, and committed to authenticity over hype. Topics include: • Cultural identity and belonging • Independent and DIY creative practices • Resistance in art, sport, and street culture • How football connects — and divides — communities • The role of streetwear as language, not just fashion
