Known as the voice of the Dodgers and a seasoned voice actor you've heard in countless commercials, Todd gives us a rare look at the person behind the mic in Blue Heaven on Earth. Todd shares the winding journey that led him to this dream job - from growing up a Red Sox fan, to almost wor...

We couldn't be more excited to have Dodgers Game 3 hero & World Series champion, Will Klein join us today! We talked to Will all about the World Series and Game 3 of course, but we learned where his baseball journey began and how he landed with the Dodgers after being DFA'd from the Oakland A's and traded from the Mariners. We asked Will all about joining the Dodgers, being teammat...

We were so excited to get back to our microphones because all we want to do is talk about the Dodgers! And winning the World Series! And the World Series Celebration!

We narrowed in on some of our favorite plays that led to this World Series win. It's crazy to...

We could not be more excited to sit down and talk about our Dodgers being back to back World Series Champs! What a game 7 and what a series!

We take you into all of our thoughts surrounding this series, th...

Okay we're back to recap games 3 and 4, one we will relive for the rest of our lives and one we are okay with forgetting about. We were so lucky to be at Game 3, one of if not the best (and longest) baseball game we've ever been to and we tell you all about our experience - and the lucky listener who sent Melissa to her first World Series game! We share all our thoughts on how we felt inni...

Not only have we been cheering on our team, but your...

Our Dodgers are going back to the World Series!!! We couldn't wait to get on the mics today because there is so much to celebrate.

We get into all of it - and share our thoughts on Shohei's NLCS MVP winning performance, all the...

We are at our new postseason setup recording from Santa Monica, and couldn't be more excited to talk Dodger baseball! Our team took the first two games in Milwaukie and we couldn't be happier to be coming back to Dodger Stadium with 2 wins. Feels familiar?! Our starting pitching is almost leaving us speechless... but of course we could not stop raving about how great our guys have been. Snell's do...

Our Dodgers are moving on... and Melissa lost her voice cheering them on so loudly! We couldn't be happier to be recording this episode after watching the Dodgers beat the Phillies in what was one of the most wild endings to a game! We could barely sit in our seats at the stadium watching this final game of the series go down - and we tell you all about our experience. From Tyler's dominan...

The Dodgers are advancing to the NLDS! Goodbye to the Reds and hello to the Phillies!

Melissa and Jaclyn are recording from home today because Melissa is sick just like our team, apparently. Or are we assuming they are sick because that's how they are playing? Regardless, the girls delay talking about their losing team and chat about some other things first, like what they did over the weekend and celebrating Melissa's birthday the night before. The girls share about going...

Boy are we happy to be back in the number one spot! Our pitchers are coming back, our players are returning healthy and we are starting to see the team we knew we could be coming into this season! After an unfortunate series loss to the Padres, a heckler ignited Shohei and the Dodgers dugout to a game 3 win and a continued winning streak to become the first team this season to sweep the Reds, and...

We are full of giggles today, and maybe still feeling the wine from the night before at Jaime Jarrin's annual foundation event at Dodger Stadium.

Well, it's way more fun recording after two wins than the losing streak we've been on. Our team is getting back on track, Will Smith is on fire, Freddie Freeman is heating up, the HOF ceremony happened, and we know it's only a matter of time until the team starts clicking - and as always, we share all our thoughts. We thought it would be fun this week as we get into the Red Sox series to bring on...

We are back from the all star break and the fire we thought our team would have is not there yet, and the girls get into all of it. With all the ups and downs, there is always a way to find some good through it all and that is seeing Shohei Ohtani pitch and hit a home run for the first time in a Dodger uniform.

Jaclyn fills Me...

This is such a special episode because we are at my Aunt Theresa's house in my hometown in New Jersey! When I think of sports growing up, there was no bigger fan than my dad. As you've heard throughout the podcast, he put 3 TV's in our basement to watch every game at once. When my dad died in 2005, baseball has been my biggest connection to him as I found myself yelling the same things he used to...

We have our first hometown episode! After an amazing 3 days at Fanatics fest, the Talk Dodgers to Me team made our way to New Jersey to stay at Melissa's mom's house.
