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.

This last week, we saw a 2025 World Series re-match, with the Dodgers taking two out of three games in a series against the Blue Jays in Toronto. Sadly, Dodgers infielder (and 2025 World Series hero) Miguel Rojas lost his father while the Dodgers were in Toronto. And Blue Jays manager John Schneider blew his top over a ticky-tack balk call, and was ejected, in a classic display of Baseball Theatre. Richard delivers these headlines,...
We'll always remember the first week of the 2026 Dodgers baseball season: a new iconic trumpet intro, 5 a.m. lines for promotional giveaways, and a triumvirate of Japanese starting pitchers... Richard breaks it down, so you don't have to.

Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
