Beyond - Podcast Rankings and reviews

The show has gone though some cast changes but everyone on this show has been great! I love that they speak to the more relevant cultural events and put them in the context of video games. Also, how the cast doesn’t shy away from race, gender, and other issues in the games industry/nation as a whole. It does us all good to hear about these things! As a listener of the old IGN Pubcast I was ecstatic when Lucy joined the gang! Keep up the good work!

I enjoy the game-related content of this show and have used it as my primary source of PlayStation news. I recommend trying it for that reason, and with hope you will stick with it. I like the goofy humor!

For me there is a particular host whose voice is difficult to listen to, and that person doesn’t have an off-switch so the ramble tends to go on for minutes at a time. This made me unfortunately unsubscribe. There is however a lot of good stuff here so give it a shot, perhaps your listening tastes will be different.

Always very informative, especially now when a lot of us can’t get ahold of a PS5. We can learn and kind of live vicariously through them till we can get one.

The crew are fantastic! Incredibly funny and insightful across all things PlayStation. Love the content, keep it coming! Beyond!

I’ve been listening to Beyond since Max was the host. I loved it with Brian, Max, and Jonathon. Then, when Jonathon became the host it was amazing. I loved memory cards and the fun segments like Trophy Trivia and News Crunch. It was fun, light hearted, informative and most of all, had heart. Ever since he left it’s felt directionless and at times frustrating to listen to. Refusing to cover Hogwarts Legacy, hyping up Forspoken, and most recently their praise for the PlayStation Showcase and then backtracking their opinions about it the very next episode. The podcast lacks well thought out discussion, diversity of opinion, and it seems too biased. Further, the Beyond Crew cannot take any criticism. I don’t believe any should be personally attacked, but there is no denying the show has struggled as of late but they either cannot see it or don’t want to admit it.

The show is absolutely derailed at this point. As a long time listener, I believe the following can help the show get back to its roots:
a) get Lucy off the show ASAP
b) focus on games instead of your political ideologies and beliefs — this somehow pertains to point ‘a’
c) cut down on bad jokes
