How Eva Almos channels the spirit of her survivor mother in an audio drama about Holocaust zombies

JL;DR SUMMARY Eva Almos discusses how her experience as the daughter of two Holocaust survivors influenced her latest project, an audio drama, where she channels her mother's spirit in voicing a character.

  • This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude.
  • Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from.
  • But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
  • And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
