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.

Is it the low point of the 2026 season? Richard checks in from a disappointing loss against the Brewers at Dodger Stadium this weekend, where it felt like it is.

Tommy John, the long-time Dodger, and namesake of the revolutionary, career-saving elbow surgery, has died at the age of 83. 

Maybe you know the name Tommy John, but you don't know much about him. In this episode, we take a look at John's long, excellent career, and the then-experimental surgery, performed on John in 1974 by Dr. Frank Jobe, that now carries name.

It’s the “dog days” indeed, and the Dodgers have hit the skids, riding a 6-game losing streak into the desert heat, in Arizona, where tonight, they kick off a 3-game series against the Diamondbacks.

But there are always silver linings.

Richard takes stock of the whole enchilada: recapping Tarik Skubal’s first start as a Dodger, summarizing the injuries affecting the franchise, presenting (without comment) a little Pete Crow-Armstrong conspiracy theory, and much more.
