Committed

Jo Piazza hosts Committed, a podcast built on a premise that sounds simple but generates endlessly compelling content: couples who have made it through something genuinely hard sit down and tell the full story. These are not fairy tales. Episodes feature people who survived infidelity, long-distance separations, health crises, financial ruin, cultural clashes, and the slow erosion that happens when two people stop paying attention to each other. Piazza is a seasoned writer and podcaster who asks the kinds of follow-up questions that get past the rehearsed version of events. Episodes run 18 to 60 minutes, with most falling in the 30- to 50-minute range. The show has 171 episodes, a 4.4-star rating, and over 1,600 reviews through the iHeartPodcasts network. Guest hosts occasionally rotate in, including Christine Pride. Recent seasons have leaned into second-chance romance narratives and more diverse relationship types, which broadens the show's appeal. Some listeners have flagged that certain episodes feel promotional when guests are plugging a book, and audio quality has varied between seasons. But the core strength remains: real couples telling unvarnished stories about what commitment actually looks like when circumstances are actively working against it. It is the opposite of romanticized -- and much more interesting for it.
