This episode of Talk Dodgers to Me is a little different — and I’m extremely proud to be sharing it with you. I’m joined by Ericka Claudio, the first Black woman to create a Super PAC centered on body autonomy. When I first met Ericka, what I thought would be a short conversation ended up opening my eyes in a big way. I learned so much so quickly, and I honestly walked away thinking: if I didn’t know this, there have to be so many others who don’t either. With everything happening in our country right now, it’s easy to feel scared, overwhelmed, or even hopeless at times. What Ericka is building reminded me how powerful it is to lead with values — and how real change starts when we invest in people and platforms that reflect those values, especially in moments when we feel divided. And as unexpected as it may seem, this conversation fits perfectly here. Because baseball, and sports in general, have always been about values. Community. Fairness. Belonging. Showing up for something bigger than yourself. That’s why this episode really leans into the heart of this show and why Talk Dodgers to Me has always been about more than baseball. Sports bring us together, and this conversation is a reminder of just how important that is right now.

Today we take a walk down memory lane, reliving the Dodger moments that made us fall in love with the team, and shaped who we are as fans. And Dodger fans, we haven't always had an ownership group that was as willing to spend and be competitive as they are today, so let's enjoy this golden era as much as we can!And in a time when so much feels divided, sports continues to be the one place that brings people together, and for us, baseball is that common ground. This episode is a reminder that it’s always been more than wins and losses… it’s about connection, memories, and the joy of sharing something we all love.

The baseball world is saying the Dodgers are ruining the game… so of course we had to talk about it. After the Kyle Tucker signing sent everyone into a frenzy, Melissa and Jacqueline chime in on the debate and share how we really feel about everything the Dodgers are doing. We tried to see all sides, understand different perspectives, and have an honest conversation about what this moment in baseball actually means. As Dodger fans, we can’t help but be excited. Having a team that’s fully committed to winning, investing in talent, and building something special doesn’t feel like a problem to us. We know eras like this don’t last forever, so we’re choosing to enjoy every second of this golden age of Dodger baseball. We also get into the Dodgers’ newest signings, what we think could be coming next, Clayton Kershaw joining the WBC, and so much more. Are the Dodgers ruining baseball… or is it just the best time to be a Dodger fan? Leave us a comment and let us know where you stand.

We’re back for Season 3 of Talk Dodgers to Me and the vibes could not be better. After winning the World Series in both of our first two seasons, we’re heading into this year feeling confident, excited, and ready to talk about a possible three-peat.This episode is part reintroduction, part reunion, and part off-season catch-up. Melissa shares when and why she started Talk Dodgers to Me, and Melissa and Jaclyn reflect on how they met, bringing Jaclyn on in Season 2, and the genuine friendship that grew from it all. It’s a little refresher on who we are, how we became Dodger fans, what this podcast means to us, and why it’s always been about more than just baseball.Then we dive into off-season talk: where players are landing, which free agents are still on the market, our thoughts on the Dodgers signing Edwin Díaz, the possibility of Kyle Tucker in Dodger blue, and what this all means for the season ahead. Mostly, it’s about getting back into the swing of things and soaking in the excitement of what’s coming.We missed you, we're so happy to be back, and it's almost time for #Dodger baseball again.

We couldn't be more excited to have our 3X World Series Champion, Max Muncy on the podcast! Earlier this season, we got the chance to talk and get to know Max's amazing wife, Kellie, so we've been waiting for the moment to have Max on, too. Of course we talked all about the incredible World Series win and the whole postseason run, but we also got to hear Max talk about his family, where his love of baseball came from, and all the questions we've been dying to ask!

On this episode, we sit down with Todd Leitz - the unmistakable, deep, thunderous voice of Dodger Stadium. 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 working for the Padres, to ultimately becoming the iconic sound of Dodger Stadium. We loved hearing the level of care he puts into pronouncing every player's name, how he connects with the guys on the field, and what it was like annoucing Shohei as a pitcher and DH for the first time! This conversation is warm, fun, and full of stories you've never heard before. Enjoy!

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 teammates with Clayton Kershaw and all of the other star-studded talent, his favorite moments and so much more. We even got a surprise cameo from his lovely wife, Carson! This was so much fun, we hope you enjoy our conversation with Will!

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 had to share all of our thoughts on being at Dodger Stadium on parade day to celebrate with not only Dodger fans, but with our team! We narrowed in on some of our favorite plays that led to this World Series win. It's crazy to think that if any of these plays went the wrong way, it would not be us celebrating right now. From Kike's incredible baseball instincts, to Dave Roberts masterclass coaching job, to Yamamoto's history making performance, to Shohei being on base 9 times in Game 3, we had to get into it all, so please enjoy re-living it with us!

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! From Yoshinobu Yamamoto's well deserved MVP award, to Miggy Ro's performance, to Will Smith's game winning home-run, to a perfect ending for our future Hall of famer Clayton Kershaw. We take you into all of our thoughts surrounding this series, this season, and what it was like for us through it all. We are so happy for our amazing team and are even more excited to celebrate with all of you Dodger fans for parade day! We did it! 2025 World Series Champs! And 2/2 with this podcast!

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 inning after inning until - who else - Freddie with the walk off home run! Anytime Shohei is on the mound is exciting but our team fell flat for Game 4. We are ready for our boys to pick up those bats and hit and anticipate that going into Game 5. So let's go boys! We need this win going back to Toronto where we have to get the job done! Go Dodgers!

It's the World Series! Our team is coming back to LA with an even score after our boys took Game 2 in Toronto. From Snell's Game 1 performance, to the offensive outburst from the Blue Jays, to the second complete game from Yoshi and his masterful performance, to Will Smith's momentum changing home run, we have so much to talk about. Not only have we been cheering on our team, but your girls have been busy! We hosted a Dodgers pep rally in Santa Monica with former dodger legends Steve Garvey, Eric Karros and Adrian Gonzalez. We hosted World Series watch parties. Oh, and we woke up at 3am to go on a Toronto morning show! We get into all of it and couldn't have been more excited to fill you in on everything. Now we're back in LA hoping for 3 more wins. Let's go Dodgers!

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 just watched our team sweep the Brewers to win the NL pennant, Shohei Ohtani had the greatest performance of all time, and we hosted our first watch party to see it all! We get into all of it - and share our thoughts on Shohei's NLCS MVP winning performance, all the talk about the Dodgers ruining baseball, Melissa's public manifestation during an interview at Dodger Stadium, and so much more. What a time to be a Dodger fan. Enjoy!

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 dominant outing, Yamamoto's complete game, Teo heating up, Muncy hitting the ball out of the park, wow! Our team is playing their best baseball right now and we are absolutely loving it! And Dodger fans, we are hosting a watch party this Friday for Game 4 at 33 taps downtown. We can't wait to cheer on our team together! Game 3 here we come, let's go dodgers!

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 dominance, to our "X-Factor" Roki, to the incredible defense on both sides, we are so proud of our boys! Melissa and Jaclyn talk about that game ending play and what they would say to the Phillies pitcher, Orion Kerkering. They talk about the wheel play (because who isn't), the other series going on, what players are standing out to them and so much more. Let's hope the Dodgers keep winning, so we can keep talking about them!

The Dodgers are advancing to the NLDS! Goodbye to the Reds and hello to the Phillies! FYI, this episode was recorded on Wednesday before Game 2 so the girls are recapping everything that happened during Game 1. Before they do, the girls reminisce on meeting each other as they are coming up on their one-year anniversary. Melissa shares a story about a medium reading she had last week. Jaclyn reflects on Dodger teams from the past and why this team has the fire. Dodger Stadium was rocking from Shohei starting the series off with a home run, Snell's dominant performance and Teo's bat heating up, they had so much to talk about. And yes, the bullpen. Frustrations are at an all time high and we get into it all.
