Listener sentiment
Big Fat Positive maintains overwhelming listener enthusiasm, with the vast majority of recent reviews awarding five stars and praising hosts Shanna and Laura as relatable, funny, and genuinely supportive. Listeners consistently highlight the podcast's unique combination of practical parenting tips, expert advice, and authentic storytelling that doesn't shy from difficult topics like postpartum mental health, loss, and the unglamorous realities of parenting. The show's core appeal lies in how it evolves with listeners' lives—many follow along from trying-to-conceive through multiple pregnancies, newborn phases, and into toddlerhood, describing the experience as "listening with best friends" week after week. The engaged community, including an active Facebook group and responsive hosts, reinforces a sense of belonging that listeners single out as particularly valuable for isolated new parents. A sole concern raised is the desire for greater diversity and inclusivity in perspectives, though production quality, frequency, and guest selection continue to earn consistent praise.
