Description

Freshly minted Ambie Award nominees Rita and Ellin prove that EVERYONE needs a Jewish grandmother! You know, a sassy woman who's lived to the fullest, tells it to you straight and wants nothing more than to fix you up, spoil you with love, and send you home with some matzo ball soup! If you don’t have a Bubbe of your own, you can borrow our hosts! They’ll introduce you to some less-than traditional grandmothers and the unbreakable bonds each one has with their favorite grandchildren. Through intimate conversations, they’ll share hard-earned wisdom from lives well-lived. Whether it’s flying planes and touring Vietnam or dating around and kissing Elvis, nothing is off the table for these daring women. They’ll leave you laughing, commiserating, and inspired to live life to the fullest, no matter how old you are.

Sue + Jed

2022/06/23

Sue Poster, the original inspiration for Call Your Grandmother, is back! This time, she’s joined by co-thespian and grandson Jed Levinson, who has a bone to pick after listening to Season 1 and discovering that he doesn’t seem to be the favorite grandchild. Show tunes, prank calls, and a trip to WrestleMania weave through the story of this hilarious pair of Call Your Grandmother anti-heroes. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Connie + Skylar

2022/06/16

Legendary singer and actress Connie Stevens – a favorite of our hosts Rita and Ellin – has a beautiful bond with her eldest grandchild Skylar, who draws her out on kissing Elvis, being shorter than Sammy Davis Jr. and whether or not she had a fling with Neil Armstrong after the moon landing. Skylar’s grounded sense of humor and work ethic as she follows in Connie’s larger than life footsteps are a testament to Connie’s steadfast focus on her family through the vicissitudes of a life in show business.
