We're Doing Fine (with Robbie and Lisa)

We're Doing Fine is a long-running conversation show centered on Robbie and Lisa's transatlantic rhythm. The core episodes feel like two friends opening the call before anyone has fully remembered what the agenda was. That looseness is the point. Weather complaints, time-zone math, recording at awkward hours, travel fatigue, running plans, and room organization can all become episode fuel. Lisa may be surrounded by energy gels while planning long runs. Robbie may be juggling London trips, travel, or the annual-leave calendar. The show likes tiny domestic stakes. It also likes making those stakes funny without pretending they are bigger than they are. Around that everyday chatter sits a recurring book-club format, where the pair move into more guided discussion. Project Hail Mary brings space survival, memory loss, dead crew members, and movie-trailer spoiler questions into the room. Everything Is Tuberculosis prompts a more emotional register, with talk of John Green's mix of science, social history, and Henry's story giving the book its human weight. The Serial Killer Guide to San Francisco adds crime-tour fiction and deadline chaos, including the practical mess of recording late for a next-day release. The tone stays informal even when the subject turns serious. Jokes arrive quickly. So do admissions of confusion, delight, tiredness, and unexpected tears. The result is less a neat review show than a durable friendship with a reading habit. Its book conversations are accessible because they sound like people processing what hit them, not people performing expertise. Its regular episodes are strongest when mundane life becomes a running bit. The appeal is familiarity: Robbie and Lisa sound comfortable enough to interrupt themselves, tease each other, lose the thread, and still land somewhere warm.
