I used to really enjoy listening to this podcast with my husband, but a season or so ago the focus shifted. The podcast used to be about relationships. Now it’s a platform for authors to plug their books. Poor form, Jo.

I have a girlfriend and I’m trying to keep me and her relationship going really good but like how can I keep it up? I’ve been with all kinds of those she’s different a good. Day

The sound mixing on this show is so bad :( on the most recent one, I couldn’t hear Carl when he was speaking 90% of the time. And then Jo’s voiceovers are insanely loud in comparison. Many other episodes have this issue too. Can’t enjoy the episode if I can’t hear half of it!!

I’m happy that this podcast is back but the newest episode with the family whose assets were seized by the FBI has terrible audio. I can barely hear the couple even at full volume. Hopefully future episodes are better.

Thank you so much for an authentic look into all kinds of relationships and issues. It always made me smile to see this one pop into my feed!

This is a beautiful way to hear so many different love stories through this podcast. Listening to Platonic Life Partners is so heart opening and mind expanding. I have never thought of having a life partnership with another woman. I am sharing this podcast with many of my friends. Thank you for the stories!

The first couple seasons were great, but the later seasons are people who happen to be in a relationship pushing their products or their social agendas.

Boring Who cares????

Till they replayed an incredibly triggering episode with Shazi and her husband. As a neurodivergent adult I was horrified that anyone thought this was an appropriate thing to air. Your kid doesn’t need to be fixed- just love him how he is. It’s disgusting that you had a child with the INTENTION she be “his little therapist”. You should be embarrassed for allowing this episode to reair.

I used to love this podcast, but the focus has now become so different from my experience, I can no longer relate. I acknowledge that life experiences are diverse, but the couples in this podcast seem now to be too much at the fringes for me.

Such amazing interviews with endless tips to help your own relationship! Whether you want beautiful stories or helpful tips, this is the podcast for you!!!

Jo P and Team: this Nov 2021 season — Wow! These stories need to be, deserve to be —told and shared! Thank you!

It was so good! What happened? They are all so religious now! It went from sweet to preachy…so sad. :(

I miss the stories of couples who actually went through and endured something really difficult in their relationship and got through it together. Now it seems like most of Jo’s latest episodes are trying to push some sort of social agenda. I’m all about accepting people for who they are, but there’s really no story anymore.

Because some of the episodes are great. But in typical white woman form (lol that she wrote a book about race, my gosh) Jo has no problem featuring problematic people who have no affect on her life. I should have been done after the border patrol agent but the recent episode promoting an anti-choicer wannabe politician is enough. It’s not cute.

I occasionally like this podcast. But the latest episode, with Howard and Rachel grated on my ears and nerves big time. Why does Rachel talk like a baby when she is announcing, on Youtube no less, that she is pregnant? Why does Howard yell twenty times, like a 12 year old, in a squeaky voice, “Are you serious?” And then the host _repeats _the ‘I’m pregnant” announcement twice, as if the first one wasn’t annoying enough. Ick. Also , WAY too many loud ads. Watch HBO’s or the original (Ingmar Bergman’s) Scenes From a Marriage “ to see a mature investigation of marriage. These folks sound like they are about 12 years old and were, well just annoying and not interesting in any way. I wish this show would interview a more diverse range of couples, everyone is in the military , everyone is Christian and white and conventional.

Okay I’m officially unsubscribing after having been a listener since the beginning. I’ve had enough of the toxic relationships, questionable messages, and problematic people that are featured. That’s all there’s been lately for a while now. Even If I try to listen to these newer episodes I end up stopping halfway through because I can’t take it anymore.

I enjoy hearing these stories and how people come together and work through life together. But the episode of Every Little Win was very hard to listen to because Brooke constantly interrupted Todd. It’s not easy to listen when people keep talking over one another.

Love all the episodes. However I did enjoy the episode with John Oates & his wife! Also a huge fan of Hall & Oates! ❤️also!! I absolutely love Promise ain’t Enough!!!❤️

I absolutely LOVE this podcast. It makes me laugh, smile, cry, and get upset; all the feels. Jo tells each story very well. I would have given a 5, but there are way too many ads and breaks, it gets annoying.

I understand the intended purpose of the recent covid episode BUT to give voice to misinformed, selfish, harmful arguments to not get the vaccine..just no. For example, the husband may feel he’s healthy enough to not need the vaccine (I disagree but that risk is on him); however it’s not about himself! It’s about protecting others as well! My family member received the vaccine but had an ineffective response due to her blood cancer. Hearing such selfishness makes me so angry and I don’t believe a podcast should be airing that, as it might give others a false sense of confidence in their own misguided beliefs.

In the latest episode, guests said factually inaccurate info about the safety of the covid vaccine, and the host didn’t bother to challenge that. This is spreading harmful misinformation.

Omg, the 3D sound, amazing. I was out for my walk while listening and i thought tigers were surrounding me! Lol!

I used to really like this show when it was first released. The stories that were told felt genuine and real. I’ve noticed lately that the majority of couples interviewed are influencers, potentially promoting their own book or Instagram account along with the interview. Where are the stories of mixed race couples, of trans activists, of people who don’t fit into the classic narrative of being white and attractive? A bit disappointed, maybe time to look for a different podcast.

It makes the hopeless romantic in me happy.

Has some great stories about couples going through tragedy together but also has numerous stories that celebrate toxic relationships.

Why are there so many annoying adds? I’m a skipper but there is a noticeable difference this season. Whyyyyy???!

Some sweet stories but comments such as “Because we live in America and we have to think about this” regarding having to pay for cancer treatment, is ignorant, simplistic and devisive. The listener has no choice but to hear it and can’t respond with equally simplistic statement like”Because they had a seven day wedding for 500 instead of financially preparing for emergencies one of them had to keep working. “. Or “thank goodness we live in America and have such incredible medical treatments available.” Controversial Political sidebars detract from story.

Every episode is wonderful and intriguing. Thank you for bringing such interesting stories to us. I’m currently bingeing every episode but I don’t want it to end.

Too political.

I would love to hear more stories about interracial couples, multicultural couples, and multilingual couples. You hear so many stories of failed mixed marriages and I’m jonesing for some beat-the-odds love stories of how couples from different countries, social classes, races, cultures, and religions have happy and fulfilling marriages!

Great host voice, great content! 👍🏽👍🏽 Two things I don’t like tho: way too many commercials that are very loud and the theme intro music is so depressing.

Thanks for such inspiring podcast!! I’ve cried and laughed during quarantine with your stories. October 14, it’s such awesome story. Thank you!!

I love this podcast. It’s exactly what I was searching for. Beautiful stories of love and triumph told by couples. I also like Jo. She’s got this engaging voice and energy.

Jo has a wonerful way of presenting her subjects and their stories. She does so with delicacy, care, and respect. The diversity in the relationships provide a true glimpse into how beautiful humanity can truly be in this current crazy world where “humanity” is hanging by a thread. I would definitely give it a 5 if the ads weren’t so loud. Sometimes i fall asleep while listening only to be abruptly awakened by the high volume.

I love this podcast! It shows you that committed marriages that last really do exist, but they aren’t without obstacles. It’s great to know that all couples struggle but can choose to overcome their struggles and come out of them stronger together!

Thank you for giving different perspectives to relationships and how to make it “work”! I appreciate your work. Keep em coming!❤️

Great podcast ! So much raw real stories ❤️

I love this podcast it’s an insight in different relationships and their commitments. There’s hope to make it. I didn’t get the notifications for the new episodes!!!!! Now I have a whole season to binge 🙃

love jo’s voice and love these uplifting stories!

I have enjoyed many episodes of this podcast. However, I am disappointed by the June 3 episode. This episode perpetuates the harmful idea that autistic children are burdens to their parents and that parenting autistic children is traumatizing. Abuse and death of autistic children is on the rise and this false, ableist narrative is to blame for this. Autism is not a problem that needs a cure. Neurodiversity is a beautiful part of life. I hope you will do some research into why this kind of message hurts the autistic and disability communities, and consider removing this episode.

Lovely

I love this podcast. It’s very informative but not in a preachy way. I always look forward to it.

Love the podcast and style. It’s a great conversation touching on real lives, challenges and the hard work it takes. Do not think advertisements are being tailored properly for audience and VOLUME promoting other podcasts. Very disruptive

This is one of my favorite shows and I listen to a lot of podcasts. I love the concept of talking about commitment in this way - modern life is so focused on short term gains, instant gratification, etc - these stories are uplifting and true and make you believe in lasting love and in people in such a wonderful way. Thank you!!!

The host Jo Piazza is a great storyteller, and I’m sucked into each episode. I’m a huge fan of Committed. Especially stuck inside so much now during quarantine, I’ve really enjoyed listening to new and old episodes.

This podcast is incredibly important. Marriage has evolved so much recently, and this podcast dives into it in a compassionate and real manner. It examines how many different types of marriages/relationships there are. You’ll laugh; You’ll cry; and you’ll look at where your own love stories fit into this new world. What Jo is doing is such a lovely, genuine, and raw thing for our society and how we look at different types of relationships. Plus, her voice is calming and lovely.

I LOVE this podcast. I listen to new episodes on my commute and they always get to me. I like that it’s not just conversations about a man and woman surviving marriage. The podcast deals with heavy conversations and situations that are happening to many people in this time. It’s inclusive to all love and I think it’s worth a listen.

Love the stories, love the editing. Keeps my attention throughout. Love this podcast!

I liked the podcast in the beginning. But recent episodes have been less about being “committed”, and more about “how can I get what I want.” I’m not even going to listen the episode about a woman leaving her husband for her “true love.” That’s the opposite of committed. Unsubscribed.
