David & Mary Boies

David & Mary Boies

Author: Pushkin Industries June 28, 2021 Duration: 27:39

The role most people know David Boies for is not “husband.”  But our interview with this legendary litigator and his whipsmart wife showed us how tragic loss, and a few well considered compromises (involving Las Vegas), can lead to an “upward spiral of kindness” — and a marriage that any couple would envy.

Imagine pulling up a chair at the kitchen table of a couple who’s been together for decades, listening as they unpack the real story of their life together. That’s the feeling you get with Double Date with Marlo Thomas & Phil Donahue. Hosts Marlo and Phil know a thing or two about lasting partnership, having famously fallen in love on live TV and built a marriage spanning over forty years. In this Pushkin Industries podcast, they don’t just interview other celebrated long-married couples; they join them for genuine, meandering conversations that feel more like a shared discovery than an interview. You’ll hear famous names talk with striking honesty about what truly goes into a shared life: the negotiations around career and family, the way conflict is weathered, and how couples navigate profound challenges like illness or addiction. It’s not all heavy, though. The tone is warm and often very funny, filled with spontaneous laughs and those hilarious, private anecdotes that only emerge among friends who understand the journey. Each episode offers a rare, intimate look at what endures-the glue, the grit, and the grace that keeps people together. Tune in for a podcast that explores the complex, beautiful architecture of relationships, one candid coffee-table chat at a time.
