The Way They Were

2 The Way They ARE: Abraham & Mary Todd Lincoln

In the second outing of the little cousin of The Way They Were - aka, The Way They ARE - it's Grainne's turn to present us with a couple, who despite all odds, managed to keep their wedding vows. 
And in this case 'till death do us part' was probably the promise that saved them from the scandal of the divorce courts. 
And in Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd's day, it was probably easier to suck it up and hope they didn't have to stay wed in the afterlife!

The podcast where every celebrity split is the one that got away. Each week comedians Grainne Maguire and Chantal Feduchin-Pate take a deep dive into a celebrity breakup, chosen by a special guest, that still lingers in their hearts and minds. We scour interviews, over-analyse iconic pictures and search for meaning in post-breakup media statements. Celeb gossip hounds will feel right at home, but really anyone who's experienced a breakup can appreciate hearing how the rich and famous take heartbreak to a whole new level. They might uncouple ‘amicably with love and respect for one another’ - but we never get over these lost loves! Join us every Friday for a new episode.
