Customer Reviews
Another Hit from Richard Parks III
I am in no way interested in baseball…or so I thought. But this storytelling is top notch. The editing, script, music and story are all top notch. This is EXACTLY why I love podcasting. Richard has a way of making me care deeply about something I would otherwise never give a thought to. Give this podcast a shot even if you have never cared about baseball. If you do care about baseball, this may become your favorite new podcast.
Dream come True!
This is the best baseball podcast I’ve ever heard! And I’ve heard them all believe you me.
Surprisingly wonderful
I’m not a huge sports fan, but the sharp analysis, twisty narrative story telling and incredible scoring have me hooked. I will definitely keep listening. And I’m learning a lot about the Dodgers.
