On Episode 88 of the Daebak K-Rambles Podcast, Jess and guests Emily and Raquel from the Play on K Podcast review the sports drama Hot Stove League, starring Namgoong Min, Park Eun-bin, and Oh Jung-se.

Jess, Emily, and Raquel talk through this 2019-20 Baeksang Award winner, discussing our history with sports dramas and baseball (like, what is a stove league?), the characters and performances, the depictions of ableism with disabled characters, Oh Jung-se's Joker-esque villain, a factcheck on some egregious location hopping, and so much more.
