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.

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.

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.
