Critic Rating
Sex, drugs and being 70. Join our cast of 60+ seniors — Buzz, Gloria, Elise and Henri – as they navigate retirement, friendship, dating, dream-chasing, money woes, adult children with lots of opinions, and yeah… sex. Lots of it. Golden Girls, move over. From Lemonada Media’s BEING Studios: This is audio reality. This is BEING Golden. The first three episodes are available on Nov. 14, wherever you get your podcasts. Also available now: All episodes of BEING Trans, another audio reality production of BEING Studios.

Critic Reviews
Score: 4.8
Andy Dehnart • Reality Blurred • May 30, 2022
"The audio compensates well for lost visuals, not by filling our ears with sound effects but with subtle things like having the cast members identify themselves as scenes change. Alas, it also follows some of reality TV’s more obnoxious tropes, like repeating part of a scene again after an ad break. It’s entertaining and informative—and more necessary than ever right now..."
Score: 4.9
Nicholas Quah • Vulture • May 13, 2022
"...admirable for what it’s trying to do. However Lemonada chooses to position Being Trans, the underlying reality is that it’s a great listen. It’s surprising, engaging, and, in this political climate especially, an artifact of defiance."
Score: 5
Hannah Verdier • The Guardian • May 10, 2022
"The characters are warm, open and proof that any hate directed at their community is utterly pointless. "
Score: 5
Lauren Passell • Podcast The Newsletter • May 2, 2022
"It’s an audio eavesdrop and sounds like nothing Lemonada, or anyone else, has done before."
