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.

Sometimes, you gotta make an ep like this. Richard takes a deep dive on Dodger Stadium diced white onion dispenser technique. (Seriously.) Then, Richard catches you up on what’s been going on with the Boys in Blue since the last ep: the end of the team-wide slump, Josue DePaula's AAA callup experience, Shohei's return from injury, and more. Then: he takes a look at the (very very good) 2026 post-season pitching rotation, and compares it to others over the past 5 years. Plus: a 5-star listener review from Apple Podcasts, read aloud, and elaborated upon. Solid ep. Go Dodgers!
