Named a "Best New Podcast" in 2024 by Audible and Vulture. "This is no simple sports-recap podcast. Instead, each episode plays a bit like a dispatch from a foreign land — in this case Dodgers fandom — in which a local correspondent (that would be Parks) walks you through present concerns." (Vulture) Noted for its storytelling, sound design, and original music. A love letter to baseball and radio by a born-and-raised Angeleno.

During the Dodgers 4-3 win over the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday, Dodgers backup catcher, rookie Dalton Rushing, had what must have been one of the worst games of his life, including going 0-4, with three strikeouts, and having some significant miscommunications with his battery-mate, starting pitcher (and global superstar) Shohei Ohtani, who is vying to win a Cy Young Award this year. The game has become the talk of the baseball world. Richard breaks it down for you.

With a monsoon rolling through the ballpark in Pittsburgh, a group of rowdy Pirate fans in the right field stands removed their shirts, and taunted Shohei Ohtani, as he stepped into the batters box for his fourth at-bat of the day. And then, the baseball gods intervened on behalf of the Dodgers, who went on to score 10 runs in their biggest single inning of offense in almost a decade. Then, as the rain cleared, a double rainbow filled the sky, framing the bright yellow Roberto Clemente Bridge and the downtown skyline. Also: Freddie Freeman's 2,500th hit! And: LGBTQ+ night at Dodger Stadium.
