  • Enjoyable, even when I disagree a lot

    I think the conversations are great. It is annoying that they let real life scenarios get in the way of a good soapy story. I wish they had a Genx co host that has been a long time soap watcher, maybe since the late 70’s or early 80’s that might bring a different perspective on this show. Lastly, the microphone situation is a lot. One microphone is always sooo loud and sometimes when he talks, you can’t hear when someone else is trying to speak. I feel like I’m either turning up or down the sou... more

  • 2nd review

    This is my 2nd review. I look forward to a lot of the hosts’ insight of the podcast every week. The issue I have is that it feels like some of the baggage of two of the hosts from watching other soaps has rubbed off on the enjoyment of Beyond the Gates. It sometimes sounds like they don’t think the show is good and could deter others from watching it. This is a platform and not Social media so I believe the hosts should consider that when how they critique this historic new daytime drama. T... more

  • Show is good

    I love the interaction among the hosts but one guy’s microphone is way too loud.

  • Comment about writing credits made July 13th

    Regarding the suggestions that Michele Val Jean wrote every episode during the week of July 7th (2025), I’d like to very kindly clarify that she’s been writing—and overseeing—episodes continuously since the series began. If you follow the daily writing credits (as I do), you’ll notice that after MVJ and Guza, the next two names are the breakdown and dialogue writers who typically rotate and write only or two episodes a week. Each episode has four writers—five if you count the script editor—credi... more
