    Love you both but…
    For the love of God, put transitions in your ads. Something to let us know when ad is starting…it is so annoying when you are mid sentence and then all of a sudden it’s an advertisement.

    My favorite podcast. The only podcast I find worthy of paying for. Love troy and Kelli, love them branching out and trying new things.

    Beyond Obsessed
    I love this pod so much. I’m a fiend. Can’t get enough. My partner and I made up a little dance to the theme song.
  • Aggy999
    My fave podcast for years
    I was introduced to the world of blind items by Kelly and Troy and now I can’t get enough. Not particularly a huge fan of the Kiki episodes each week as I already follow pop culture pretty closely and know what’s going on. Really craving more blind item episodes. I understand a large bulk of celebs have already been covered but maybe you guys could go back and start giving some blind item updates on older episodes? Wish you’d do a Britney episode!
  • Aubree4m
    Having Fun w/ My Friends
    Loving these new Bravo corner eps! Hearing Kelly and Troy discuss whether they'd be a deckhand or stew and what type of charter they'd want was so fun to listen to. It feels like they're my actual friends and I'm cracking up with them. The pod also has a really good vibe bc you can tell they're actual friends (similar to Ben and Ronnie from Watch What Crappens).
  • drakes#01fan
    my favs
    love the pop culture kiki every week!! i’m so happy i get two episodes on wednesdays now!

    Beyond 5 stars.
    What would I do with my Troy and Kelli. Obsessed doesn’t describe how ravenous I am for this podcast. Please never stop! We need you guys.
  • bren*123
    Still my favorite!!
    Every time that Troy says “you are swaddled” I feel the depression leaving my body.
  • friends and cats
    Best ever!
    This is my favorite show! Kelli and Troy are so funny and I truly love how real they are. Been a listener since the beginning💜💜
  • wieds009
    Wow
    People don’t need to agree with you on everything, Troy. Making it seem like MW fans are idiots is very rude. If the roles were reversed you’d be losing your ish. Racism goes both ways and Troy, you need help.
  • PrinceDepp
    Chappell Roan
    For the most part, I really enjoy this podcast. BUT! Completely disagree with Troy’s opinion regarding Chappell. People don’t have a problem with her not having kids or being a pop star, people have issues with her wishy washy stances. Chappell said that she’s not a spokeswoman for politics but she sure had an opinion with the Biden administration and Kamala Harris (which she purposefully mispronounced her name a couple of times 🧐). She is mysteriously silent on the Trump administration which is affecting the LGBTQ community that she’s profiting from. I believe Chappell Roan doesn’t want to offend her republican family members which she has stated that she’s still close to.

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    Content so good I might be obligated to subscribe to the patreon 🫡
  • abcdefffff_
    Interesting podcast w/ one caveat
    Great podcast usually but Troy’s way of speaking down on people who don’t agree with him is roughhhh! It’s not always but when he feels strongly about something, he can’t engage in convo that sees both sides and isn’t condescending. I find Kelli to be lovely and much better at discussion even when she disagrees. Overall I love the podcast topics but wish they’d (mostly Troy) take constructive criticism more professionally
  • Larbaldy
    A sad decline
    This was once such a fun listen, but Troy can't help himself, he spews out hateful comments about anyone that doesn't agree with him politically .. and brings up how much he hates white men in almost every episode, it's exhausting.. too many ads, too many f- word .. no thanks

  • bskibs
    A podcast that brings me actual joy
    Please don't tell Troy and Kelli but I actually don't even care about anything celebrity related. I just really feel connected to these two as a millennial media consumer which is a phrase I've never before used to describe myself. They make me laugh out loud and their banter is unmatched and I cannot tell you how healing this podcast has been for me through the current free-fall of American civilization so yeah five stars for sure.
  • oliveflin
    Soooooo funny!
    Wait, am I Troy and Kelli’s biggest fan?! Obsessed is an understatement. I quite literally *love* this podcast.
  • TRS336
    FAV NEW PODCAST
    Funny, informative just plain good. 10/10. Hosts have a great back and forth feels like chatting with friends.
  • ~Kathleen~
    Amazing hosts! A must listen!
    I never miss an episode. I love this show so much. Hosts Troy and Kelli make me feel like we’re catching up on FaceTime. I love that they wait to discuss current events/ pop culture until they record these episodes — I appreciate that it must be hard to not talk about certain things together until recording, but it definitely keeps the episodes feeling fresh and unscripted. I’ve shared the show with my sister and now she listens to every episode too! 2025 will probably be the year i become a Patron (finally!)

    Comfort podcast
    Troy and Kelli are the best part of my week! I’ve been listening for over 3 years and they have gotten me through so much. Do yourself a favor and subscribe to their Patreon!!
  • KJPP98
    A never miss, no skip podcast!
    I’ve been listening since the beginning and it’s been fun to watch the show grow throughout the years. The shifts in the show have only made it better. But the best part is the chemistry between Kelli and Troy. Both of them are knowledgeable, insightful, and hilarious. I’m not even really into celebrity gossip- I started listening to escape news events. Beyond the Blinds made me realize that the industry is just a mirror reflecting our larger culture and current events. Kelli and Troy are perfect tour guides through human rottedness.
  • wildwoodcottontail
    10/10
    The best podcast for a look into the Hollywood and celebrity underbelly. Not to be heady, but it’s quite literally “beyond” gossip - it’s a thoughtful analysis of the entertainment industry and who these people are outside of the facade they present to be worshipped by the masses.
  • technicalpants
    this podcast is free adderall
    Listening to this pod is literally so good for my ADHD. So gd funny too
  • ali.oooooo
    The best of the best!

  • ms harvest arts
    Fun and Knowing Pop culture podcast
    Five + stars! Love the Kiki.. Troy and Kelly make a great team.
  • ivyandnell
    Troy - write that book!
    The show keeps getting better & the Elvis episode was one of the best yet! I especially loved Kelli pointing out that this isn’t a cancellation but a history lesson as we all need to learn from the past! Troy- please write that article or book on Britney intersecting w black community & being “invited to the cookout”
  • 🌠🌈🌌🌄🌊🗻🌅🌋🗾
    Saving me from the hellscape that is 2025
    A warning to the Rotted: Troy and Kelli aren’t merely hilarious and insightful pop culture critics, they are all-powerful karmic manifestors.
  • 08kp14
    Great podcast!
    Perfect podcast to catch up on pop culture of the week and deep dive into celebrities and events. Appreciate Kelli and Troy so much!

    10/10
    This podcast was the reason I even started to like/listen to podcasts! Such fun content and great humans!
  • KatieDessie
    I look forward to it every week
    Beyond the Blinds is the only Patreon I continuously subscribe to. The content is exceptional, the hosts are hilarious and feel like I’m hanging out with friends, and the celebrity gossip and knowledge is an amazing brain cleanser with everything else going on in the world.
  • karenface69
    So controversial yet so brave
    10/10 keep it UP
  • Goldengorl30
    Used to be my fave
    Used to be my favorite, but I'm tired of the political talk, and just because people don't want to hear it, automatically makes them crazy conservatives, I think they are losing fans because they keep taking digs at people who have different views or opinions... why would they want to pay and support if they are nasty about it? Please go back to just pop culture things.
  • Claudssssz
    I’m obsessed
    I could listen to these two talk for hours. This is truly my comfort podcast. Love them both so so much! 🤍
  • .DeeF.
    The best show!
    I look forward to listening to the pop culture Kiki all week! Trot and Kelly are the reason my house gets cleaned!
  • zoeeeee0812
    love the pod and the hosts!
    long time listener, first time reviewer! I love this podcast so much and look forward to the new episodes every week! every episode feels like hanging out with friends. troy and kelli are so funny, and even when they’re being shady or silly you can tell they are truly kindhearted people.
  • Ashward2004
    My fav podcast
    Love it! Never miss an episode!
  • EveryNameITryIsTakenLOLWTF
    Listening Since Episode 1!
    I’m a huge fan of Beyond the Blinds. I’ve been listening since episode 1, I can’t believe I’ve never rated them before. On their most recent episode they asked us to rate and review and now I see why lol. Omg the rating is supposed to be based on the show and it’s content not one line a host said that you disagree with. Anyway I love blind items but appreciate the deep dive direction this podcast has gone. Can’t wait till they’re back in NYC or possibly NJ to go to a live show!
  • Kahairree
    Such a fun listen
    Whenever I see a new episode released it’s an immediate listen. I love this podcast, especially the culture Kiki episodes. They have so much pop culture knowledge that I’ve forgotten over the years and it’s so fun to listen and be reminded of crazy things that happened 20 years ago.
  • lmtsyd
    My favorite
    This is my favorite podcast! Troy and Kelli are hilarious and I can always count on them to keep me updated on all the pop culture dramas!
  • Becca Bows
    Super Fun Pop Culture Show!
    Escape your day with Beyond the Blinds and all things pop culture and celebrity. Troy & Kelly are so fun as they give their takes on celebrities, blind items and pop culture.
  • Pepe_Silvia__
    Great Show
    I listen to this podcast religiously. It’s fun and dark sided and everything in between. I love that Troy and Kelli rarely speak over each other, I can barely listen to other podcasts for this reason. Thank you for being a bright spot for us listeners, we appreciate you!
  • Cass and Tess
    My Sisters!
    Troy and Kelli and truly my sisters lol. I love this podcast, I’ve been listening for I think almost 2 years, I am a Patreon member and I have listened to almost every episode. They make me laugh, even when the world is rotted.
  • asfdnksbd
    DOWNHILL
    Can’t believe I actually thought these two were reliable. Now that they are more pop culture and political commenters.. Pathetic
  • Buffster2323
    Love this show
    Troy and Kelly do such a great job with this show. It makes me feel like I’m gossiping with my best friends (not in a parasocial way). These two have such great chemistry and I’m constantly cracking up along with them.
  • Deuces1224
    My favorite podcast. Ever!
    I love the banter, I love the commentary, I love this podcast. Troy, I also am binging your other two podcasts and Kelly, you have blossomed into a really amazing host. The magic between the two different personalities with such unique backgrounds in pop culture really shows. Brava!
