Dodger Blue Dream

  • Summary

  • Named a "Best New Podcast" in 2024 by 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.

    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.

    Job's finished! The 2024 Los Angeles Dodgers are World Champions.

    The Dodgers beat the Yankees in a decisive game 5 on Wednesday night in the Bronx, taking the series 4-1.

    The following day, Richard goes out to breakfast with his friend, chef Wes Avila, to celebrate.

    And the day after that, Richard attends the first World Series victory parade in the streets of Los Angeles since 1988, on what would have been Dodger legend Fernando Valenzuela's 64th birthday.

    On this episode, we invite you to bask in the afterglow of an amazing game 5 (and particularly that epic, momentum-shifting top of the 5th) and an unforgettable World Series victory for the Dodgers, with Richard and Wes.

    What a season. What an ending. Thanks for listening.

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.
