    AMAZING PODCAST!
    (WARNING: may be bias!) this is my go to podcast! such good entertainment and content!! I will say that the titles are clickbait and that is why you see 4 instead of 5 stars. but i will say this is a show for at least 14+ in my opinion but it is fun getting Matt and Abby’s opinions. They also bring in such dun interesting guests! 10/10 rating!

    HATE the Episode Titles
    I generally enjoy the podcast! I love Abby’s input! Matt is emotionally immature and unaware has room for growth but he’s not a bad guy! But I hate hate hate their episode titles. They are so clickbait-y it actively makes me want to not listen. The episode in January “your HOTTEST questions” had literally nothing to do with the podcast as recorded. You guys are good on your own, for the love of all drop the clickbait episode names and let your work speak for itself.

    Please read <3
    I hope it’s not rude of me to say.. I love the solo episodes or episodes with family the MOST! I came here for you guys! I’m kind of tired of following podcasts for the host/s because I really like them and then having to skip episodes every week because it’s a story I didn’t come for. Almost every show does it these days. I understand that this podcast is what you guys want to make of it and I definitely don’t want to shut down any of your creative freedom. I just wanted to share my perspective as one consumer in particular of this content. Some people might love the guests and that’s okay too.

    Relatable, entertaining, and refreshing
    As a stay at home mom of a 4 year old, 2 year old, and 3 month old… I find this podcast to be a refreshing part of my week! Whether I’m in my car listening on the way to errands and appointments or sipping my afternoon coffee watching YouTube and folding mountains of laundry during nap time…Matt and Abby never fail me. Truly love this podcast, it feels like visiting with friends.

    Relatable couple
    Great show and good convos. Easy to listen to and learn a lot from you and your guests. I also grew up around Quincy, IL. Don’t live there anymore but I’ve known some of the references you guys have talked about throughout your episodes. Thanks for being a bright light!

    Matt & Abby are naturals!!
    I love this podcast so much! Matt and Abby are both so gracious and kind and it shows in their interviews of guests on the podcast- they don’t talk over guests or interrupt them or go on their own tangents. They are gracious and genuinely interested in their guests stories. I love how they always have a variety of guests on their show and ask difficult questions very tactfully and kindly. They also are good at just asking interesting questions in general and giving you a good well rounded picture of who the guest is and their story. Highly recommend!

    Favorite part of my morning❤️
    There is nothing I love better than doing my daily activities around the house while listening to the Unplanned Podcast. Matt & Abby are the most relatable people I have found on the internet. They seem like the sweetest, kindest family, and I look up to them in many ways. Great job guys!!

    Worst podcast ever
    These idiots overshare and won’t stop talking about sex. We don’t want to know-what happens in your-bedroom. Are you Five? or just a-dud???

    Wholesome and Heartwarming
    I LOVED the Christmas episode with Matt’s parents. I think it might just be my favorite one yet, and I’ve been listening since the beginning! I found myself smiling and laughing out loud through the entire thing. The banter and jokes remind me so much of my family - made me feel like I was right there laughing along with ya. Thanks for everything you do, so appreciated!!

    Matt’s parents
    I absolutely loved the episode with Matt’s parents! I feel like I relate to your mom so much. I am always down for a good bargain. I laughed when you Said your mom has a closet full of gifts because my mother-in-law does that and now I’ve picked up on it and have my own closet as well.

    Finally Family Friendly Diversity
    Been following Matt and Abby for years now and always loved listening to their videos and podcast, but now with their recent episode with Raven Simoné and her wife, I am extremely happy to finally see some family friendly and diversity in their content. Hoping to see more of this!!!
  • jesusfreak1235
    Going a little too Woke
    Their podcasts can be interesting, especially ones with guests. It is hard to get over Matt almost always agreeing with people to the point of contradicting himself. I think they’re too afraid of being canceled again, which I get, but it’s just starting to feel fake and on the woke side.
  • Melbo23
    A new level of immaturity and inexperience
    I’ve tried multiple times to listen to this podcast, and I can’t stomach the level of unawareness and cluelessness. The Tim and Renee episode was so hard. As a hiker, I love Tim and Renee and their accomplishments are incredible and their lifestyle is one for the books. Matt and Abby were just unaware, uneducated, and too immature about how serious and impressive their thru hikes are.
  • rebekah550
    the best podcast i’ve listened to
    i had never been interested in podcasts but when you guys announced this i started listening, and i loved it! i tried listening to other podcasts but they were never as good as this one! live you guys and your videos/podcast.
  • MATT&ABBY4LIFE
    Soooo gooddd👍👍👍
    The bessst live listening to this as a teenager it’s so fun to listen to on runs and while going on hikes.
  • carly grace f
    my absolute favorite
    i absolutely love these podcast. They are very real and i love the honestly that comes from everyone. My favorite videos are you and matt’s interviews and my all time favorite video was with devin and hunter.
  • 🤌👏
    🤢
    I tried, y’all. I really did try. But Abby’s nasally stuffed up voice makes me feel like I cannot breathe. Sorry girl.
  • colson__15
    My true opinion
    I could not love listening to this podcast more. It is so true and open. I love that we get a deeper look on just your so much happier lives. Matt, I struggle with anxiety too and in the earlier episodes I loved getting to know that. Also, I follow you guys on insta but recently deleted it as it’s so toxic. So it has been so nice to catch up on this. Keep going and keep your hearts as full as they are!!

    Thank you
    Loved the Matt interview where he really opened up about his mental health, it was really helpful to see and I know it will be really helpful to so many others. You guys are amazing.
  • s lacquer Wacker
    Would you consider a podcast with us?
    Would you ever consider having someone like normal on your podcast😂? Honestly I’m asking because I think it would make for a super interesting podcast to have me and my sister on bc we have a sorta interesting story we didn’t grow up Mennonite, but now we are and we don’t have any social media stuff really but I think it would be interesting. - Hannah S.

    I love Matt and Abby
    I’ve been following M&A since their journey in Hawaii on Tik Tok. I love watching them grow and seeing their story unfold. This podcast is real, genuine, lighthearted, and so refreshing to listen to. Thanks for sharing your lives and being so positive and real
  • lswick
    Love it!
    Matt & Abby, I love your podcast. I’m listening to an episode where you guys are talking about whether you want your kids to work or not. You have differing opinions, but I love that you guys hear each other out despite those differences. I think it’s a super interesting conversation and I can genuinely understand both points of view. It made me think about my own little ones. Thanks for having a positive space to listen while I drive to and from work :)

  • Sienna Fosse
    Very entertaining!
    I love listening to you guys when I need to unplug and clean or just get out of the craziness in life, but I mostly love when you give personal updates with your family, new things you like to do, advice, and just acting as though we are in the conversation and we are friends! I love you guys, and so does Jesus so keep shining your light and keep going no matter what others say!

    Love Love Love Your Podcast
    I am so glad that I found your podcast. I listen to it every single Sunday while I’m at work. And after I finish the up-to-date one I go back to old ones that I haven’t listened to and catch up. Now I’ve caught up so what am I supposed to do now? 🤣 I used to follow you guys on Instagram years ago and then I had unfollowed as I was downsizing my followers to keep my time less on social media. But guys your podcast is such a different angle than instagram and I just LOVE you guys and how REAL you are!! And PLEASE keep up the “What’s up Dudes” and “Peace Out Dudes” it’s what makes you guys special and unique!! I get it when you have guests it doesn’t always suit but don’t lose that part when it’s just you two!! So in conclusion I’m so sorry it’s taken me this long to send in a review I couldn’t figure out how to do it. So FINALLY googled how so here I am!! Keep up the awesome work and love you guys!!!

    Not great
    I thought this podcast was going to be great after seeing a snip on TikTok, but I couldn’t keep listening after three episodes.
  • Sober Mommy of 3
    Love listening
    I enjoy listening to both of you. Your voices are so inviting and hearing the emotion Abby shares is enlightening and encouraging to say the least. I am going through a tough time and I love the motivation I get from hearing both of you and your guests you have on the show. Just keep on keeping on. Thank you for sharing your life with us.

    Is this for real?
    Wait a minute — talk about gaslighting your base. Are you two seriously talking about child abuse on your platform? Man, you need a new publicist.

    this podcast was so so beautiful and heartbreaking. It had me absolutely sobbing at the strength and commitment of this man to his family. Seriously such a good reminder to be grateful for health. 100% a necessary listen.
