Dodger Blue Dream

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. To support Dodger Blue Dream, please visit:

"Dodgers Drop NLDS Game 2 to Braves"

Dodger Blue Dream ·

2026/10/06

Richard attended the Dodgers-Braves NLDS Game 2 in the sweltering L.A. heat on Sunday, only to see the Boys in Blue fall to the Atlanta team, 3-2. Snell faltered, Muncy rallied, but ultimately, it was a game of both good and bad -- but, probably mostly bad, because it was a loss. Richard recaps highlights and low-lights, and dives deep on a terrific Max Muncy at bat in the 9th, that can tell you a lot about this game, and this series. Then, Richard looks forward, as the 1-1 series heads to Atlanta,
