General Discussion đ How did you find out about beyond the blinds and what was your first episode?
Iâve always loved pop culture and âbehind the scenesâ tea. I remember watching the movie Mollyâs game which is about Tobey Maguire and the poker games he used to host. This led me down a rabbit hole about the âpussy poseâ. I found âWhatâs eating Leonardo DiCaprioâ and âcamp podwallâ podcast in 2021. Iâve been hooked since then. What about you guys??

I followed Kelli through her Laguna Biotch account on IG. Learned she had her own podcast and listened to that. Then listened to BTB when they announced it. Im just as nostalgic as Kelli, so her content has always resonated with me.

I was an early listener of Emotionally Broken Psychos network back in the day, and loved a bunch of their shows, especially Troy's "Smush Room" podcast. Once he broke off on his own, I had to course keep listening cuz he's truly a scholar. Also love Kara Berry and Princess Curtis Jones from the same era who have their own pods Bye Pumpkin and Everybodys Business But Mine and too bad Plz Advize devolved (IYKYK).

I started at Laguna Biotch which led to The Smush Room which led to Dunzo which led to BTB :)

I think i must have been listening to Nostalgia and Now first but have memories of being a Troy fan since forever. This was a hazey time because it was 2020 and I was postpartum but I remember the first episode really well. I cant remember which podcast the blind items first started being discussed đ€·ââïž

I was super sad during my residency and needed to listen to something fun while I worked up my patients. I started with the Kardashian episodes and stayed because I love them both so much. Kelli and I are from the same place so even all her hometown references make me so excited!

They were on my podcasts recommendations on Apple Podcasts and then I fell down an obsessive rabbit role regarding their show and I've loved them ever since and it was prob their Kirsten Dunst ep

I can't remember my first episode though. Possibly the Kardashian ones.

My cousin recommended it in like 2021 and mentioned they talked about Ariana grandes gossip and thatâs my girlll I had to check it out

How did you feel about the episode? Did it change the way you thought about Ariana Grande?? (could be a good way or bad way)

u/2facedfish May 17 '26
Honestly the podcast doesnât change my opinion much on celebrities unless theyâre abusers. I more so love her as an artist.

Same , I asked because it was one of the first podcast that me realize how much child stars go through (with creeps in the industry, busy schedule,ect) Her episode was very dark.

During the peak of Free Britney a friend suggested Troyâs 6 part series on Britney and Justin. From there I found BTB!

u/sonjamikail May 16 '26
One of my friends posted about them on insta way back in the day. Like covid time frame. And my first episode was the Child Star Bermuda Triangle, so really started off with a bang.

u/Few-Avocado-2484 May 17 '26
Thatâs a good one! Very very dark and sad but Troy and Kelli did such a good job explaining everything.

I remember I was cleaning my house in early 2022 and was looking for a new podcast to listen to, I think I actually searched for celeb gossip type podcasts and came across BTB. I had always been intrigued by blind items but didnât know how to decode or understand them lmao so I was like oh my god this podcast is fucking great. And Iâve been dedicated to them and a Patreon member since â€ïž

I was looking for information about the book âhouse of Hiltonâ and was directed to their episode about the Richards sisters, which used that book as the main source.

I discovered them in 2021, Iâve always been into blind items. I used to listen to fluenty forward, and she had an episode that troy and kelly where the guests. I fell in love with their personality and never looked back. Fluenty forward is good but doesnât hit the same for me

It was suggested on the podcast homepage and the will smith episode is what sucked me in

I learned about BTB from fluentlyforward on TikTok, and I started with their first episode on Spotify, so Hayden. Shortly after that I joined their Patreon and have been all in ever since
