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.

We’re getting down to the wire, folks. As the Dodgers suffer their third straight loss to the Atlanta Braves, who thereby completed a sweep against the Boys in Blue Thursday night, Richard breaks down the MLB playoff format, how it might impact the Dodgers, and digs in deep about this series against the Braves – and the concerns it raises for the Dodgers 2026 post-season run. This is an unusually "cup half empty" episode, for DBD, but hey, we just got swept by the Braves! The sky's falling!

Kyle Tucker signed a record-high contract with the Dodgers this past off-season, worth $60M a season.

Tucker came to the Dodgers with Hall of Fame-caliber numbers.

But so far in 2026, he’s been mired in a season-long slump.

Things reach a low point this week, in a game where Tucker went 0-5 and dropped an easy fly ball in the outfield.

Richard looks back on Tucker’s signing, the expectations, and the way the season has played out so far for "King Tuck" in Los Angeles.
