For more than 20 years, on the show and off, Dear Listener, Gareth has been trying to get Jett to watch FIELD OF DREAMS. Well, it's finally happened. Press play to hear this deep dive into the blockbuster fantasy from the last century in which Higgins and Loe discuss fathers and sons, baseball ghosts, how many days Burt Lancaster was on the set, the elimination of the monoculture and whether it's ever too late to make amends to those we've hurt.
