  • Summary

  • Named a "Best New Podcast" in 2024 by Audible and Vulture. A documentary about the Los Angeles Dodgers "made in real time, as the season unfolds" by writer, documentarian, and lifelong Dodger fan Richard Parks III. For fans, casual fans, and non-fans alike. "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.

    KCRW Crossover: "Ippei's Fate"
    Feb 7 2025

    Ippei Mizuhara, Shohei Ohtani's former translator, was sentenced in federal court Thursday to almost 5 years in federal prison, and owes restitution of $18 million he stole to pay off his gambling debts with an illegal bookie. He may also face deportation to his native country of Japan. This special crossover for KCRW is a continuation of the gambling scandal sage covered in our episodes "The Talented Mr. Ippei" and "The Complaint Against Ippei."

    Richard takes stock of how the Dodgers' off-season is looking so far, a couple weeks after the team's World Series victory. We focus on one player the Dodgers might gain (the young Japanese flame-thrower, Roki Sasaki) and one they might retain (the wide-smiling, big-slugging 2024 Dodgers All Star, Teoscar Hernandez) through free agency this winter.

some of the best production in podcasting

It's worth listening even if your aren't a Dodger fan. Honestly you don't even need to like baseball. Richard Parks puts more work into a single episode of this (and his other show, Richard's Famous Food Podcast) than most others put into an entire season, possibly their whole careers.
