A League Of Their Own Recap Podcast

OwlTail

A League of Their Own writer and executive producer Desta Tedros Reff joins host Carolyn Bergier (Dyking Out podcast) to give the play-by-play on Episode 3, "The Cut Off." A tent revival comes to town, but Max only wants to be saved from having to tell Toni about her new job. And if you like secrets, they're everywhere in this episode; from Clance's mysterious behavior, to practices at dawn, to nursing injuries, to what the preacher's wife has been up to outside of the tent. Plus, Carson and Shirley play chaperone on Greta's date, and there is definitely transmission (but not in the way Shirley thinks). We finally hear from Charlie but are more focused on Guy's egg. Also, #JusticeForGary.  Please subscribe and follow on instagram to stay up-to-date on future recaps and related interviews.  Sound mixing by Matt Harmon Theme song: Choo Choo Ch'Boogie by Louis Jardin &amp; His Tympany Five

The Cut Off with Desta Tedros Reff

We spotlight the new Amazon Prime Video series "A League of Their Own" - an inventively reimagined telling of the story of the World War II-era All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (and originally made famous in the 1992 Penny Marshall-directed motion picture of the same name) - with writer and executive producer Desta Tedros Reff. Decidedly more "dramedy" in tone than the comedic approach of the namesake film (or even its short-lived, lesser-remembered CBS-TV primetime sitcom spinoff the following year), the new League still builds its rich storyline around the AAGPBL's four-time champion Rockford (IL) Peaches - while notably incorporating race and gender identity themes not previously addressed (or even acknowledged) in the original. Tedros Reff takes us inside the myriad of challenges behind the making of the series, including: the persistent curveballs thrown by COVID-era production scheduling; the purposeful approach to historical accuracy (yes, various scenes were shot in Rockford); and the obvious, but important risks of reframing the lighthearted plot of a modern-day film classic into an authentic narrative befitting the true legacy of the league's pioneering women players.
