Spoken For

Spoken For is a podcast about the beautiful, maddening mess that is long-term love. Hosted by Sydney Shannahan - writer, wife, and founder of Altar & Toast - this show is about what it really means to be (and stay) in love.

From explosive arguments to the slow work of becoming a team; from mismatched sex drives to money worries; from navigating grief to deciding whether to propose, move countries, or raise kids together - relationships can be hard to navigate. No one gives you a manual, but with a bit of humour, a lot of honesty, and the right words, maybe we can figure it out together.

This isn’t about wedding planning or perfect Instagram moments. It’s about what comes after the aisle:

• When the honeymoon period fades and real life sets in

• The arguments, compromises, and hard conversations no one warned you about

• The joy (and the heartbreak) of building a life with someone over the long haul
