Good Listen, Just 1 Thing

I listen every week. I like you guys, and your commentary. I usually align with you guys on your viewpoints. But for the love of god, please, pronounce Urias and Santander correctly. You know the team, so you should know the names by now. It makes. Me. Nuts.

Let’s Go O’s

Lowering my rating to 4 stars. As was said in the last episode, things that make you frustrated… for me it’s the promise of no commercials and then having to listen to many. Burt would be disappointed. That all said don’t let my pet peeves get in between you and listening to this enjoyable podcast.

Good Show + Good Dudes = Great Show

Been an O’s fan my whole life but just discovered and started listening to this show this year. If you’re into highly produced, professional podcasts, this probably isn’t the show for you. However, if you enjoy laid back banter between two brothers (and sometimes one of their 7 year old sons) that reminds you of the types of conversations you’d have with your fellow O-bird loving family and friends who also can’t pronounce any name more difficult than Henderson, this is the show for you. These guys are the quintessential Orioles fans - more than slightly jaded from years of highs and (more common) lows of O’s fanhood, prone to a touch of pessimism, but always hopeful with lots of love for this team.

Just a chill listen as watching a game.

A Phillies fan that heard about this podcast on TMOS and figured as the summer and playoff race heats up I’d learn some about a potential post season opponent. Good job guys. Love the baseball talk and general banter.

Good orioles podcast

Good Orioles podcast. Lifelong Oriole fan here too. Pretty good stuff. I only learned of this a few years ago but isn’t it a great time for Os Baseball. O yeah! One of the better orioles shows around (considering the post and pregame on radio are shells of what they used to be).

Gateway to Birdland

Grew up a Cardinals fan but adopted the O’s after moving to the Baltimore area… right as the team went off a cliff in 2018. Started listening to connect to the fan base, stuck with the team through the rebuild and I’ve never enjoyed baseball more than right now. Love listening to you guys and look forward to the next episode every week. Go O’s! …and go Section 336!

Out of Town Os fan

Love the show. Great content. I’m in South Carolina so I don’t see to see much of the Os on TV so most of my Os knowledge comes from box scores and highlights. Section 336 guys make it easy to put some context with the numbers and highlights. Tune in for an hour each week for great coverage

This pod gives the feels!

Listen, podcasting is hard, especially one dedicated to a historically bad team. But Section 336 with Matt and Josh delivers the goods. The audio quality is great, the brother banter smashes, and these guys even do things like research medical journals to better understand how screwed the team is when their closer suffers a partial UCL tear. If you love the Orioles, why wouldn’t you listen to the OG Orioles pod?

Os OGs

Two brothers with Orioles love from birth, I’ve been listening to these guys forever (since the Burt days) and really respect their knowledge, opinions, and spirit to keep going even thru the darker days. So glad we’re all finally being rewarded with great Os baseball. Thanks so much Matt and Josh. Hmm, it’s not letting me tap the stars but I assure you, I’m trying to give it 5 stars!
JBinDville

My favorite o’s pod

Started listening here and there during the rebuild. Been listening every week since last year and look forward to the new episode every week! Enjoy the o’s talk but also the personal stories about attending games, PS5 scams and the like. Thanks for the great content.

A Bird in Bean Town

As an Orioles Fan that now lives in Boston it’s hard to find people that care about the birds enough to hear me talk about them. Listening to your conversations, commentary and takes for an hour gives me an outlet that I’m sure my Red Sox fan wife appreciates. I just ordered a shirt from the Birdland Sports store to support the pod. Keep doin what you’re doin!

Best Oriole Podcast Around

I’ve been listening to these guys for about 7 years now, and can I just say, they are a must listen for any Orioles fan. Josh and Matt are great hosts and their banter is just top notch. Being from New York, it’s great to hear consistent conversations from Orioles fans who have lived in the area and now out of state, which makes it both insightful and relatable. Also, the fact that they talk about their personal lives really makes it feel like your a part of a conversation between friends which is different from most sports shows. It’s a great listen and Let’s Go O’s!
velvet-revolver-fan

Great for the far away fan

Living in Texas I don’t get much O’s talk. These guys keep me up to date with the right mix of O’s news and enjoyable chit chat. Only issue I had was for the longest time I put the wrong voice to face from their pod photo. Still trying to untangle that mess in my brain. Keep up the great work guys & never change!

From Boo to Boom!

In light of recent poorly worded and constructed reviews based entirely on a flawed perspective and fueled by that same cranky attitude that makes the DMV so painful and is often in the person who goes to express check-out lines at grocery stores with more than 10 items (@JayGibbons), I would like to exercise my right of free speech and express how wonderful the 336 show and hosts are. Been following for 5 years and enjoyed the highs and (more frequent) lows of being an O’s fan. I appreciate what the boys from 336 do and how much they do as a free service for the Birdland community. If you’re so upset at the quality of such a service that you would take time out of your life to give them a one star review, re-evaluate your life. Perhaps you’re actually supposed to be a Boston or Philly fan. Huge hat-tip to the Boys. Keep up the good work.

Old men yelling at clouds

I’ve already given the show a review, but in light of the “Jay Gibbons” review, it seemed appropriate to leave another. The old-men-yelling-at-clouds vibe is the best reason to listen to Section 336. It’s like talking O’s baseball with your friends, but Matt and Josh are more knowledgeable than your friends. Get out of here with your 1 star old cranky man review.
Old Man Bill K

Great Podcast

Maybe it’s because I was born before 1990 but I love the talk about all things Os. Keep up the good work.
stevenFearTheTurtle

An Oriole treasure chest

Just recently found this podcast. Absolutely love the conversations. A must for any Oriole fans. Thanks guys for what you do.
Jay Gibbons

Boo this show

These guys have the most “old man yelling at clouds” Orioles takes and alienate the Orioles fan base born after the year 1990. Listen to The Warehouse Pod and On The Verge podcasts to fulfill all of your Orioles needs. Also weird move posting rave reviews in the “about” page of the podcast.
Disco Stupid

I like to listen to this show

This may be the best Orioles focused podcast. I wouldn’t suggest that Josh and Matt are the pinnacle of orioles and baseball knowledge. Josh charmingly mispronounces player names basically every episode and they aren’t as up to date on our farm system as some Oriole fanatics. That said, they are hardcore Oriole fans and are current on Oriole and Ravens news and banter. The thing that separates this show from other Baltimore pods is the host’s chemistry. As brothers who have done this podcast for years, I love listening to them talk sports or even (especially?) local scam artists. Zany Burt is a great addition to the group even though he isn’t as detailed as the main hosts. I really enjoy hanging with these guys once a week and highly recommend the show for any Orioles fan.

True Baltimore Fans

If you love hanging out with your best friends and talking about the O’s, this podcast is for you. Just two brothers talking about what they love: their families and the Orioles

Turn off your ringer

You guys do a great job but put your phone on silent while you record for goodness sakes!

Solid Orioles Podcast

Really look forward to the podcast every week. Good analysis and good banter from two guys who obviously love the O’s

If you like Orioles baseball and baseball this podcast for you

If you are orioles baseball fan this is the podcast. If you like baseball this you will enjoy the show!

Great Baltimore Sports Podcast

As a Baltimore transplant living in California I enjoy hearing Josh and Matt speak from a fan’s perspective about the o’s and ravens. I especially enjoyed Josh’s x-box saga and look forward to seeing this through to the end. They are insightful and honest as they come across as true fans and not crusty crabs. Aside from sports I enjoy their playful stories about their personal lives.. Keep up the good work fellas.
TylerSA2

Meh

At least pronounce a player’s name right. It’s disrespectful and ignorant when you repeatedly get it blatantly wrong.
JoKir83

Great show….

I’ve been listening to this show for years and have enjoyed the fact that they purposely don’t do commercials. If episodes are gonna be locked behind paywalls moving forward I’m done with this show. I’d rather them have commercials instead of forcing us to pay.
Bickolas23

Josh is getting scammed

Josh just grab your neighbor throw him in your car and drive to his brother in laws house to get your PS5. This runaround he’s giving you is ridiculous. Other than that, great pod with both a knowledgeable and critical look at the O’s.

Bring back Bert.

Two fans chatting

A couple fans chatting about the Orioles with a different take. Friendly, personable. Lots of good info. Legacy building.
Dareabledog

Section 336 is a must-listen!

The commentary between the hosts is entertaining, funny, and easy to listen to. They don’t overwhelm you with stats and other sabermetrics, they just give you observations from the perspective of the common fan. When someone asks me for an Orioles podcast recommendation, I always say Section 336. The *legacy* this podcast will leave will be one for the history books.
DerekP_

Go O’s!

During the show, Matt and Josh give a great insight into the current and legacy Baltimore Orioles. I enjoy their casual conversation throughout the podcast too including their Ball 4 segment.

Great podcast for a transplanted Orioles’ fan. You guys are great!

Great Podcast

As a diehard Orioles fan born and raised in CT, it’s beyond difficult to drown out the noise that’s known as Yankee and Red Sox fans. Couple that with the fact I’m 32 and my formative years were spent witnessing the Yankee run of the mid 90s and the Red Sox run the last 15 years. Not fun. Luckily, this podcast seems to have turn the tide. Great insight, analysis and overviews regarding the state of the team. It’s nice hearing others care more about who’s the #5 starter out of the Charm City instead of another Aaron Judge HR call. Keep up the great work guys and you definitely got a new listener in the Constitution State. To quote Matt, “and as always, Go O’s”
Plaxico King

My favorite Orioles podcast

Lovel banter between the two brothers.I’ve been searching for a good Orioles podcast for a while, this is the one.Give it a listen definitely worth the five stars.
MikeH79

At Long Last, A Great Orioles Podcast!

I have been searching for years for an Orioles podcast and this is it. I’ve listened to plenty of interesting podcasts that seem to disappear after one or two episodes. These guys are clearly committed and are entertaining and informative. A great listen.
BirdsFanInNoVA

Great Orioles Podcast

In the midst of a long rebuild, it’s not a great time to be an O’s fan. Matt and Josh make it bearable though with an entertaining, fun, and clean weekly show discussing the O’s bumbling on the field while giving hope for the future via analyses of the minors and top prospects. A great show!

Regular Listener

Hey guys, Love the podcast, thanks for doing it. Born and bred orioles fan here, love the team no matter what. I can tell you guys do too. Thanks for bringing the great content every week. -AJ

Straight 5 ⭐️ O’s Talk ⚾️🐦🍺🦀☀️🥥

I heavily look forward to these weekly drops as the content is for sure super solid. Being on the west coast now in San Diego and Salt Lake City, I fully appreciate the regulars and the frequent insiders. I just need Burt to get regular again as I dig his dynamic when he’s not ‘accounting’ things. Major fan of the program, so I’m hoping for a minor shoutout on air. I get grumpy and anxious when the normal Monday drop delays to a Tuesday or Wednesday, if that doesn’t demonstrate my dedication to the #WorldSeriesOriolesMagic & Baseball Birds Beers Crabs Sun Coconuts

Pumped!

Corona Virus has created a lot of new “opportunities” for me. These include finding new ways to workout, search for toilet paper, keep a toddler entertained, and of course kill some time. Since I am missing some baseball and especially my Orioles, I made a Google search of Baltimore Orioles podcasts, low and behold, I stumbled upon this magnum opus! Pure happiness to my ears. The topics are great, the back and forth is great, and of course, the passion they have for the O’s is what helps drives this podcast! Keep up the good work gentlemen! See you in Section 335!
mulwaetweep

One of the best Orioles podcasts

Found this podcast a few years back - for someone who lived out of the DMV area for many years, it was great to find a weekly source of Orioles content when you don’t get MASN and the local news covers other teams. I’m back in the area now but still listen to every new episode. 336 is one of my favorite podcasts to listen to overall and I’m glad they’ve continued to put out content even while games are on hold. I loved the daily 336 podcast that sprung up last season too - hope that comes back once baseball does as well.

Favorite Podcast

Hey guys, your podcast is what I look forward to the most on Tuesday mornings on the way to work. I love hearing all the news and love the interaction between you guys. Happy to know there are still diehard O's fans out there! Miss Burt....wish he would return sometime...

Great Baltimore Sports Talk

Josh and Matt are great people and know their stuff. They do their research and are easy to listen to. If you enjoy Baltimore sports, especially the Birds, you gotta listen to Section 336.

I wish you guys had time to do a daily recap of games. Always awesome!

Why are you not on the radio

You guys should be on 105.7. Great show, I listen all the time.
mattyice131

And as always go O’s

Easily the most enjoyable podcast about Baltimore Sports. Been listening for a couple of years now. Since that time, I’ve looked forward to my Tuesday morning work commute. Keep up the great work and please continue talking and making Josh upset about the about the QB controversy.
scl2265

Volume differential

I enjoy the content, but the volume differentials between the guys is bad. One guy yells and the other 2 are normal and I constantly have to adjust my volume so I can hear without blowing my ear drums out when Bert talks
The purple ravens

Go birds

Insightful commentary and orioles predictions.
@qwestwood

These guys are coconuts!

And if that’s not a good enough reason to listen, they are a great listen if you want Orioles talk, even during the off-season! If you’re lucky, they might even talk about the Ravens! Josh, Matt and Bert are must listen every week, whether you do it here on iTunes or on their Facebook page where you can talk to them in the chat room. Keep up the great work guys!
