Couple Things with Shawn and Andrew

Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson and NFL long snapper Andrew East host one of the most popular couples podcasts out there, pulling in nearly 40,000 ratings on Apple Podcasts with a perfect 5-star average. The show runs weekly and has racked up over 326 episodes since launching in 2019. What makes it work is how genuinely unfiltered they are -- these two share embarrassing stories, awkward moments, and raw conversations about their marriage that most public figures would never touch. The format shifts around depending on the week. Sometimes it is a deep conversation about a phrase that came up in their relationship, like "your happiness is not my responsibility" or "I will let you down." Other weeks they bring on guests, recap their latest adventures (Shawn was on Special Forces), or answer listener questions about parenting and marriage. They also mix in lighter content about fitness, family life, and whatever is going on in their world. Shawn and Andrew have a really natural dynamic on mic -- they finish each other’s sentences, disagree openly, and laugh a lot. It feels less like a produced show and more like overhearing a couple talk on their couch. They are also releasing a book called The Courage to Commit in 2026, which gives you a sense of where their heads are at. If you want a couples podcast that balances real vulnerability with fun energy, this one consistently delivers.
