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.

On today's episode we talk to two-time World Series Champion, Dodgers left-handed relief pitcher Justin Wrobleski!

"Wrobo" played a pivotal role in the 2025 World Series, pitching four scoreless innings, including the iconic Game 7 moment when Wrobleski hit Andrés Giménez with a pitch, stoking a benches-clearing melee. Like the bullpen DAWG he is, Wrobleski stood his ground. When he did, he won Richard's heart, and the hearts of Dodgers fans everywhere. 

On a team stacked with superstars, we don't hear as much from the younger, lesser known guys. But those guys are just as essential to this golden era of Dodger baseball as Shohei, Freddie, and Mookie. On this special interview episode of DBD, we are proud to present Wrobo's story of resilience, and pull back the curtain on a true bullpen DAWG.
