Welcome to the global phenomenon, surviving the survivor, where we bring you the best guests

Here's your host, Emmy-winning journalist Joel Waldman.

What's up, SDS Nation? Welcome to Survive and the Survivor. This is the global phenomenon,

not a show, not a podcast, not a program, a global phenomenon that brings you the very best guest

in all of true crime around the globe.

I am Joel Waldman.

I don't think I've ever said my name on the show, but I am Joel Waldman.

She is the oldest true crime podcaster in America and elsewhere.

She is a child Holocaust survivor, hence the title of my book, Surviving the Survivor,

She's a living, breathing piece of world history.

And again, I'm proud to say she's my mom.
