Listener sentiment
Recent ratings for The Unplanned Podcast remain overwhelmingly positive and steady with the prior period, with a loyal audience treating the weekly Wednesday episode as a comfort ritual while commuting, doing chores, or winding down. The dominant theme is still the couple's openness about pregnancy loss and postpartum struggles — listeners who have experienced miscarriage or stillbirth repeatedly credit Abby and Matt's candor with helping them grieve and feel less alone — alongside broad praise for the hosts' authenticity, humor, relatability as a young-married couple, guest interviews, and Matt's frank discussion of ADHD. The core fan base spans a surprisingly wide age range, from teenagers to listeners in their sixties, many of whom say the show feels like catching up with friends. Criticism remains a small but consistent minority: some find the hosts talk over and interrupt each other, one recurring reviewer urges them to stop retelling early-dating stories and cover new life stages, a few flag comments or episodes as out of touch, immature about sex talk, or factually questionable, and a couple note distracting breathing into the microphone. On balance, the sentiment is one of devoted affection for a show widely described as a safe, uplifting space.
