Love this podcast & love Allison and John 💜
I’ve been listening to Alison’s podcasts for 6 years now and I’ve always really appreciated her relationship advice, so I was overjoyed when she and John started this podcast! I love getting to know John more and learning more about their relationship. I got my fiancé hooked on the show now and it often sparks great discussions for us. We will be implementing marriage moments at weekly check ins! I hope the show gets renewed :)
Been a fan of Allison’s since Buzzfeed days and watching her grow and find a great partner is such so sweet to see. Love the pod and feel like it gives me good food for thought. Awoof!
This podcast has been great for helping me de stigmatise so much about relationships and mariage. It has a very compassionate and humorous way of analyzing different aspects of modern day relationships
Educational and funny every week, thanks for making it!
