The Unplanned Podcast

Matt and Abby Howard are high school sweethearts who got married in college and unintentionally launched a digital media career from their low-income housing apartment. Since then, they’ve built a community of over 12 million followers across platforms and created The Unplanned Podcast, a candid, heartfelt, and often hilarious look at love, marriage, and parenthood in real time.\n\nWhat began as lighthearted couple content has grown into a multi-platform brand built on authenticity, connection, and a willingness to share life’s most unfiltered moments. From navigating the ups and downs of marriage to embracing the chaos of raising two young kids, Matt and Abby invite their audience to feel seen, understood, and entertained.\nOn The Unplanned Podcast, they tackle everything from relationship dynamics to identity shifts and family milestones—with humor, vulnerability, and plenty of storytelling. Their listeners tune in each week not just for laughs, but for the comfort of knowing they’re not alone in the beautiful mess of life.
