Dodger Blue Dream podcast

Dodger Blue Dream

Named a "Best New Podcast" in 2024 by Vulture. A documentary chronicling the 2024 Los Angeles Dodgers baseball season, from start to finish, by writer, documentarian, and lifelong Dodger fan Richard Parks III. For fans, casual fans, and non-fans alike. "Perfectly inside-the-outside." (Aquarium Drunkard) "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.

"Blue Dream Come True"

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.

As the World Series heads to the Bronx for game 3 tonight, October 28, 2024, let's take a look back on the story of the first two games, which were played in L.A.
