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.

DBD DAILY: Dodgers Bats "Miz" Opportunities in Game 1, Milwaukee Takes CS Lead

On the Eve of Game 1 of the NLCS in Milwaukee, we bring you this episode from our archives, about the Pfister Hotel, where the Dodgers stay when they're in town to play the Brewers -- well, most of the Dodgers. Mookie Betts, for one, decides to stay elsewhere. Because they say that the Pfister Hotel is... haunted! 

This episode was first aired in 2024, when Mookie was just rejoining the team after a couple months on the injured list. As a reminder, 2024 was also the season Mookie was making the transition from right field, to short stop.

Getting ready for tomorrow's Game 1 (in 2026) Max Muncy was asked about the hotel and its ghosts. His response kept it loose. Which seems like a good sign, as the Boys in Blue kick off this all-important series.

REBROADCAST: "Mookie Is Spookied"

This year’s 2026 NLCS is a re-match of last year’s: Brewers vs. Dodgers. Last year, the Dodgers swept. But this year, it’s a different story. And it's being talked about as the “Ali-Frazier” matchup of October baseball this year.

First, Richard looks back on how the Dodgers were able to sweep the Brewers last year.

Then, Richard looks at the differences between the 2026 version of these teams and last year's, including discussion of: the pitching situation(s), the Shohei Ohtani factor, the Jacob Misiorowski factor, the bullpens, Tarik Skubal, how each team won their division series, key Dodger injuries, scoring via the homerun vs. via other methods, hitting with runners on, Jackson Chourio, the X factor of playing confidence, playing with a chip on your shoulder, Brewers manager Pat Murphy's "average Joe" narrative, William Contreras' lengthy homerun trots, and more!

This should be everything you need to know to appreciate this highly anticipated series, which kicks off Sunday, in Milwaukee.
