A Dodger's Garden in the Shade (104)

<p>We return to COVID-19 news after a few weeks, contrasting conditions in Boston versus Los Angeles County. We also go over a variety of topics beginning with our first podcast effort in college, David Bowie, traveling during the pandemic and mask fatigue versus mask anxiety. Today's show primarily looks at the installation of a botanic garden at Dodger Stadium, so expect some "Stealing Home" discourse to pick back up. Finally, Ryan updates listeners on his latest book recommendation, "Confederates in the Attic" by Tony Horwitz.</p> <p>To pick up Horwitz's classic travelogue: https://bookshop.org/books/confederates-in-the-attic-dispatches-from-the-unfinished-civil-war/9780679758334</p> <p>Once again, check out "Stealing Home": https://bookshop.org/books/stealing-home-los-angeles-the-dodgers-and-the-lives-caught-in-between-9781541742222/9781541742222</p> <p>To learn more about Chaz Perea's garden installation, read the L.A.
