About Surviving The Survivor
This irreverent, honest and funny 60-minute podcast is hosted by Joel Waldman, a former Fox News national political correspondent and his mom, Karmela Waldman, a trained therapist and Holocaust survivor. They’re joined each week by a special guest. From the Coronavirus pandemic to climate change to erectile dysfunction and belief in G-d, no subject is off limits for this mother & son duo. Joel and Karmela also offer their unique take on news events unfolding around the globe, as well as weekly segments, including This Week in Dead and Dying, 3 Questions for Grandma and My Anxiety is Higher Than Yours. The podcast’s real magic comes from the hilarious chemistry between Joel and his mom. He’s neurotic. She’s highly opinionated. Together they’re plain nuts. Once you meet Joel’s mom, you’ll never stop listening. But one question remains each episode: will he survive the survivor? Tune in to find out …

Surviving The Survivor
A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart. I am alone and feel the charm of existence in this spot, which was created for the bliss of souls.
