Great show

The episode on Brian M was extraordinary compelling and just a byproduct of great journalism, in an age where journalism standards have eroded and quality products are getting more difficult to find. Well done! There is an art to great journalism, which includes vetting sources, multiple corroborations and conclusions drawn from facts.

That’s a beautiful wall

I’ve been listening to the show for a while now because you two have terrific insight on the Orioles and baseball. However, it never crossed my mind to leave a five-star review … until I saw that new wood-paneled wall. That’s truly the kind of production value that deserves a 5-star review. How much so? I clearly watch the pod rather than listen on Apple podcast, but — because of that beautiful vertical paneling — I felt compelled enough to open my podcast app and leave this review. Cheers. Also, are they going to extend Adley or what?
Good Pod Takes

Yes yes yes yes

Meoli is as good as it gets when it comes to analyzing the O’s. Great O’s pod!

Great show

I grew up in York, PA and am an alum of Towson University (or as Brandon Hyde refers to as Towson State). I now live in Michigan and really enjoy the weekly recap on what’s going on with the team giving how off the rails this season has been. I love this team and I still enjoy hearing about them even when I don’t feel like watching! Keep up the great work guys!

Great Show

Glad to see Paul is back in the Os podcasting game. Thoughtful analysis seasoned with some occasional insider info. Looking forward to tuning-in throughout the Os 2025 demolition of the AL East.

Great Show for O’s Fans

This is a great show for an inside look at Orioles baseball. A three-pitch mix of solid reporting, general analysis, and good-natured humor.
Baltimoronz

Meh

Pretty boring generic show compared to the ravens with Jonah who’s incredibly knowledgeable. The beat reporters seem to craft opinions based off vibes rather than using any statistical data.
The Caprese

Awesome

I love this show for all my O’s content, and Paul is a rockstar

Most insightful O’s podcast

Paul shows so much knowledge and insight into the Baltimore Orioles. He has a very practical and level-headed discussing of Orioles baseball. Cannot wait for more of his content along as his guests!
