When a young Eva Kollisch arrives as a refugee in New York in 1940, she finds a community among socialists who share her values and idealism. She soon discovers ‘the cause’ isn’t as idyllic as it seems. Little does she know this is the beginning of a lifelong commitment to activism and her determination to create radical change in ways that include belonging, love and one's full self. In addition to Eva Kollisch’s memoirs Girl in Movement (2000) and The Ground Under My Feet (2014), LBI’s collections include an oral history interview with Eva conducted in 2014 and the papers of Eva’s mother, poet Margarete Kolllisch, which document Eva’s childhood experience on the Kindertransport. Learn more at www.lbi.org/kollisch . Exile is a production of the Leo Baeck Institute , New York | Berlin and Antica Productions . It’s narrated by Mandy Patinkin. Executive Producers include Katrina Onstad, Stuart Coxe, and Bernie Blum. Senior Producer is Debbie Pacheco. Associate Producers are Hailey Choi and Emily Morantz. Research and translation by Isabella Kempf. Sound design and audio mix by Philip Wilson, with help from Cameron McIver. Theme music by Oliver Wickham. Voice acting by Natalia Bushnik. Special thanks to the Kollisch family for the use of Eva’s two memoirs, “Girl in Movement” and “The Ground Under My Feet”, the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College and their “Voices of Feminism Oral History Project”, and Soundtrack New York.…

Baby please take us back we promise we've changed... Your girls are back at it again with another chaotic episode talking all about being on again and off again, as the case may be. Navigating the dating scene for the pair of us during the panny d has been somewhat interesting so we thought we'd share along with what constitutes a make up or what could be the final nail in the coffin.

Just your average catch-up covering the lay of the land as we enter a new year – covid infections, boosters, dildos, birth control – you know, the usual. Stick around for some light discussion about the general malaise surrounding the current public health crisis and climate change! Drink every time we say "literally." "This is like a little pencil" she says, describing a sex toy. Give us your recommendations at dearabroadabroad@gmail.com.

We know this much is true: we'll never be royal ~ that kind of luxe just aint for us. Should the monarchy be abolished? Tell us your thoughts at dearabroadabroad@gmail.com…

Completing Netflix 47:57

47:57

A solid 10 months into a global pandemic and the novelty of Netflix and chill (socially distanced, of course) is wearing kind of thin. Tiger King seems like eons ago and yet rotating between a myriad of different sized screens looking for the next salacious bit of doom is still a daily occurrence. In this ep we air out our dirty YouTube recommendations, talk about the future of cinema and why we're all so exhausted with yet simultaneously dependant on entertainment and social media. Is anything sacred anymore? We're not so sure. Would you watch Tenet on an iPod classic? What's your YouTube guilty pleasure? Be sure to get in touch at dearabroadabroad@gmail.com…

What do Taylor Swift, a Red Ryder BB Gun, and an open bar at a holiday party have in common? Not much honestly. Just like your zany work pals talking your ear off at happy hour, remember "this is a bit of a tangent." Since many of us can't gather round the table this year with our closest family, friends, and strangers we met online, we're hosting our own covid-friendly Zoom Krimmy Do. From HR nightmares to Christmas-filled dreams, us two former scene queens recall ghostly tales of holiday parties' past. Stick around to see who made the naughty list this year. Good tidings and cheer welcome at dearabroadabroad@gmail.com…

With the US election just around the corner, the mudslinging on the campaign trail is getting personal. Smack talk before the public hits the polls is nothing new, but are we focused on valid criticism of policy or honing in on bad tans and inconvenient insects? In this ep of snowflakes gone wild, we dive into the political discourse surrounding the current nominees as well with a focus on the way we talk about political figures and the people who support them. Covering the origins of terms, the characterisation of certain groups, and how we'd feel if those labels were applied to us, we really do cover the political spectrum of pettiness. Can't we all just get along? Get in touch: dearabroadabroad@gmail.com…

Global pandemic? Check. Raging political strife? Check. Existential dread sprinkled with crippling depression? Check check. One thing is clear: times is tough. But fear not! There are some silver linings, and we're doing our best to focus on a few glass-half-full highlights from the past several months. Get ready for a cheeky game of 2 truths and a lie: quarantine edition to find out which trending lockdown hobbies we are guilty of participating in. We also remind each other how important it is to prioritize our passion projects (even though it's hard). Tell us all about your quirky quarantine behaviors at dearabroadabroad@gmail.com…

Our Countries Are Racist 1:04:06

In this ep, we reflect on police brutality, the privilege of performative allyship, Black female authors we love, and grapple with the racist histories of both our home countries. We’re two white girls scratching the surface in an attempt to unpack the cultural moment we’re in, and what we can do to support the Black Lives Matter movement during a global pandemic.

Slide on down to the virtual speakeasy and order your favourite tipple, as it's quarantine happy hour baaaaybeeee! Alice and Giana cheers through a webcam and toast to this bizarre old time we're in. If you squint hard enough (and drink enough pinot/cider) you could totally trick yourself into thinking this is any old happy hour. The conversation is the same: what we're reading, what meal deal we'd like to get, what the anti-vaxxer you went to school with is posting on facebook - you know, the usual. Add a sprinkling of furloughing and eating the rich and you've got yourself this ep. So come on, won't you join us for a round? After all, It's ladies night, all the girls drink for free.

This episode was recorded on 21/3 2020 is OUR year, right..? Before the four horsemen of the apocalypse descend to earth, we wanted to start a revolution from our bedrooms and talk about the hot button issue which is the global pandemic, Covid-19. Alice is clearly in the Lambrini induced anger stage of grief, whilst Giana is closer to acceptance. Our cupboards might be bare, but there is always the option to eat the rich. Is it the end of the world as we know it? Do you feel fine? Write us an email and get in touch: dearabroadabroad@gmail.com…

We choo-choo choose you to be our valentine's! The season of luuuurve is upon us and we thought we'd share our perspective on the hallmark holiday of courtly love. We figure out our love languages, enthuse about our love of stripes, share tales of valentine's past and share a history lesson of St Valentine... which Alice got from a Barbie annual a solid 20 years ago. Jump in the boat and grab an oar as we set sail through the tunnel of love and this slightly manic episode, we've set you aside three roses. No more. No less.…

It's the most wonderful time of the year... or is it? With the increased volume of alcohol intake, it may well be. Family traditions, festive favourites and gifting dilemmas - we cover it all in this Christmassy instalment! So if you're awaiting a rotund elderly man to come down your chimney, we've got some mulled wine on the stove and a mince pie waiting with your name on it.

This ep we’re chiming those wedding bells and talking all things nuptials, all in front of an ordained minister from the church of the internet - our pal Jon. Wedding SZN seems never ending, and since we're feeling a bit old, we start this ep off with a fun game of MASH and see what our futures old. With our first phallic guest, we cover it all -- from hen parties to the heteronormativity of marriage to talking through our own marriage prospects.

Breasts. Bosoms. Titties. Funbags. Jugs. Wabs. Your gals are back with a brand new season chatting all things boobs. Is bigger always better? We're not convinced. From their primary function of feeding babies to paying someone to stick metal through 'em for the hell of it, Alice and Giana are pitching up their boob tents and discussing all the jolly japes that come along with having a sweet rack. Thanks for the mammaries, even though they're not so great. Alice's Twitter: www.twitter.com/alicethomasss Giana's Twitter: www.twitter.com/gianamilazzo…
