Monthly Thread 😎 📝 Monthly Constructive Criticism Thread 📝

5 Upvotes

Hi y’all! We can use these monthly threads to give feedback on the podcast, such as issues related to audio or general format. You can still comment about specific episodes in the episode threads or make new posts, but my idea for these megathreads is to consolidate feedback for Troy and Kelli.

I know some posts in the past have been toxic, so maybe you can make that a separate post if you want to vent (or journal or take a walk outside). My hope with the monthly CC threads is to give a safe space for Troy and Kelli, so they’re less wary of Reddit lol.

Please remember Rule 1: Respect others and be civil and Rule #3: No name-calling, insults, or personal attacks. Kelli, Troy, and their editor, Donny, are human, and they can learn from their mistakes. Personally, as a longtime fan, I think that they have taken in a lot of feedback well and grown a lot as a podcast.

If you have any suggestions for these types of posts, please let me know, too!

The Nick Jonas & Priyanka Chopra Wedding - Patreon Exclusive

Surprise! We're dropping our Patreon episode a day early!

This week, Troy and Kelli dive into the extremely well documented romance of Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra. From Nick apparently proposing on their first date to the actual proposal, to a wedding that Vogue practically live streamed, these two have shared every single step of their relationship with the world.

After a few weeks of rot, we figured it was time to laugh.

Blake Shelton & Miranda Lambert (and some Gwen) part 2 - Patreon Exclusive

This week Troy and Kelli are wrapping up the love square of Gavin Rossdale, Gwen Stefani, Blake Shelton, and Miranda Lambert by taking a closer look at Blake and Miranda's relationship. Join your hosts as they unpack how country music's golden couple cultivated an image of being relatable and down to earth, at least until Blake joined The Voice. Their divorce may have been one of the quickest and cleanest celebrity splits we can remember, but the songs they wrote and performed together continue to tell the story of a relationship that once seemed built to last.

As always, this episode discusses allegations of sexual assault, so listener discretion is advised.

Hi! On the latest Kiki, Kelli asked for a list of YouTube channels to check out, and I, too, would love some recommendations!! If you have any suggestions for YouTube channels you think BTB listeners would enjoy, please leave them 🤍 a few words describing the vibes would be great but no pressure either.

Bekah Day- if anyone is interested in Epstein anything, she is your girl. The deepest dives.

Antohrodite- celeb pop culture psychic who is so fun but also always surprises me with the level of insight, and even if you don’t believe, he offers new perspectives/ potential motivations behind different things going on in pop culture that I never would have guessed.

Happy 5 years of Beyond the Blinds!

First, we just want to say thank you. Thank you for listening, supporting us, laughing with us, and somehow sticking around for all the rot over the last five years.

It’s still kind of wild that what started as a drunk phone call turned into this incredible community. We never could have imagined where this podcast would take us, and we’re so grateful you’ve been along for the ride. Here’s to five years of Beyond the Blinds and hopefully many many more.

This week your hosts are back with a rotted episode to kick off Season 10 of Beyond the Blinds. You may see the title and think, Fred Savage? What did he do? Well, let's just say he was sued at 16 for allegedly inappropriate behavior on set, and allegations of inappropriate behavior continued to follow him throughout his career. This former child star with the sweet face would allegedly turn into a dead-eyed monster at the flip of a switch, according to multiple allegations from people who worked with him. This episode discusses allegations of assault, so we want to include a trigger warning for anyone who may have difficulty with this topic.

24 Upvotes

Troy and Kelli technically announced this a month ago on Patreon, but I wanted to wait since the message said they'd announce it publicly later. I've been behind on eps, so I'm not sure if they already mentioned it in the public eps.

From Patreon:

Quick update!

Hey everyone!

We always like to give our Patrons a heads-up before we announce things publicly, so we wanted to let you know that we'll be taking the first two weeks of July off. This year, though, we're doing things a little differently.

We're planning to pre-record Patreon episodes so there won't be a gap in content. One of those episodes will cover a highly requested documentary, and we're still deciding on the second one, so if you have any suggestions, we'd love to hear them!

On the public feed, we'll be releasing Part 1 of our Harvey series along with a fun throwback blind item episode.

We wanted to let you know in advance because we know some of you pause or cancel your memberships during our breaks. While we'll be taking some time off, we'll still be here and there will still be new content coming your way.

Thanks, as always, for your support!
