Only found you the last 6 months or so. Have listened to most of your shows. Sorry to hear it end. Quite entertaining Craig. You not only provided great tidbits of knowledge but always found a way to make me smile or laugh out loud.
Good luck with your future endeavors.

Apple Podcasts5jdjrjdbsUnited States4 years ago - Great Escape
Just found this podcast and have been enjoying most of the content. Between Shadow and Light goes into numerous episodes of the beloved original TZ with a deep dive analysis into themes, notable actors/directors and of course analysis of the underlying meanings related to fear and the human condition. I enjoy listening to another person who thoroughly enjoys TZ as much as I do, though there are a few things I wish would be different. The bias of his favorite episodes is pretty clear and his atti... more

This podcast is awesome. The host obviously puts a lot of time into crafting each episode, which is very informative and entertaining. I just discovered Between Light & Shadow and have been bingeing for days now. Keep it up!
Apple Podcasts5jdjrjdbsUnited States5 years ago - Really enjoy this!
As a fan of the show, I tried several other zone podcasts and this is the best of the bunch. This guy goes deep, and I really appreciate the background on the actors and the breakdown of the music. This podcast is dense, and I’ve learned so much about the show. Highly recommended for even a casual fan of the show.
Apple Podcasts5BoogieVanUnited States6 years ago - Definitely not the RC Cola
Great, fun podcast.
Apple Podcasts5SlowfaidUnited States6 years ago - Getting Better over Time
I've been listening to Craig's TZ podcast from the beginning, and will tell you that it has improved tremendously since he launched it a few years ago. He blends a good knowledge of the subject with a lot of add-ins to keep things interesting. His production quality is strong, and it is obvious that he takes a long time to put the show together. My 4-star rating is a composite rating of the totality of his output. I would have given the early shows about 2.5 stars and his recent programs about 4... more
Apple Podcasts4MusketeerdadUnited States6 years ago - Podcasting from a place of love
Craig clearly has a deep love for The Twilight Zone and podcasts from a place of encyclopedic knowledge and admiration for the series.
UPDATE: I just wanted to update my review to say that I am really enjoying Craig's reviews of the CBS All-Access Twilight Zone series. He's obviously catching more easter eggs than the average viewer would. But his commentary on the show is insightful as ever and maybe even moreso since this new TZ series has had somewhat of a rocky start for some people.
Apple Podcasts5Obsessive Viewer PodcastsUnited States6 years ago - Entertaining & Recommended
I’ve listened to Between Light & Shadow since the first episode. It’s a great podcast and a worthwhile alternative to other TZ podcasts. The episodes offer unique perspectives, interesting guests with a mix of humor and fun. This podcast also gives specific attention to the music of TZ which is something no other TZ podcast can match. The editing is very well done and the content of material is unlike any other TZ podcast. Well done, and I look forward to each show!
Apple Podcasts5NYPhilG2United States6 years ago - So enjoyable! Great addition to TZ podcasts
I recently ran across Craig’s podcast by chance and having tried a bunch of other TZ podcasts I was hesitant to even give it a listen. But with Tom Elliot now covering TZ 2019 and John and Fred so sporadic I was having withdrawal. I can’t bring myself to pay for CBS All Access just yet so I had no new TZ content without spoilers for the new show. This turned out to be a very fortune turn of events because it gave Craig’s podcasts a listen and I’m thoroughly enjoying every minute of it.

Apple Podcasts5PilotbobCUnited States7 years ago - Give this a listen if you LOVE Twilight Zone!!
Now that John and Fred are only posting shows once in a blue moon and my weekly Twilight Zone fix has been sadly ripped from my life..... I was SO excited to find Beyond Light and Shadow!!! I enjoy the tone, the jokes and his take on the show. This is so, may I say pleasant, perhaps informative, the comparisons between episodes, if I am honest is an enjoyable way to revisit episodes. (And what a treat to have Fred from the Twilight Pwn appear) please listen and rate so this podcast does not also... more
