Lisa & David Campbell on marriage, Magda Szubanski and morning TV on the Something To Talk About podcast

Lisa & David Campbell open up about Jane Austen, family life, their friendship with Magda Szubanski and why David still loves working in morning TV.

After nearly 17 years of marriage, David and Lisa Campbell decided it was time to embark on a passion project that would fulfil each of them in a very specific way. So they launched a podcast, one devoted to the legacy of Jane Austen. Lisa, a theatre producer and casting director, has been an Austen devotee for her entire adult life. Today Extra co-host and entertainer David, meanwhile, only recently picked up Pride And Prejudice for the first time. 

Into The Austenverse blends pop culture, literature and the unique rhythms of their enduring marriage, with plenty of wit along the way.

In this conversation, they talk about where the idea started, what revisiting Austen’s world has revealed to them, and how the themes of love, class and character still resonate today. They open up about family life, their friendship with Magda Szubanski, and why – 13 years on – David still loves working in morning TV.
