“Surviving the Survivor”
As heard on Spotify, Google, Apple, Anchor FM
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 …

Karmela Waldman, Co-Host of Surviving the Survivor
Karmela is best known as Joel’s mom (Joel wrote this). But, she’s so much more!
A graduate of the University of Geneva, Karmela went on to get her masters in Social Work at Rutgers University. She’s both a licensed marriage therapist and Holocaust survivor. Hence, the podcast’s name, Surviving the Survivor.
As a 4.5-year-old girl growing up on the border of Yugoslavia and Hungary, she was separated from her parents as the Nazis invaded Europe. As there was an ominous knock on her front door, she ran on foot from her house and was hidden by a nun in an all-boys Catholic school until it was safe to re-emerge more than 8 months later. Karmela was reunited with her mother Vera, however, her father Latci wasn’t so lucky as he was led to the Auschwitz gas chamber.
Karmela dedicated her life to raising her two children, Arden and Joel. And, she’s now reaped the rewards basking in the glory of her 8 grandchildren (9 if you include Joel’s dog). Her only grandson came courtesy of her Joel back in 2019. Karmela has been married to her true love’s kiss, Roy, for more than 60 years. She’s screamed at him at least one time a day for those 6 decades.
