    In Memory of Karen Glass

    Hi, everyone. What a surreal episode to publish, but Aviva’s producer, mentor, and friend, Karen Glass, passed away unexpectedly this week. We are heartbroken. We wanted to re-release the conversation we had with her from season one of the podcast in 2023. It was a privilege to hear all her amazing stories — she made all our favorite films from childhood. We are sending love to her family and friends. She will be greatly missed.  May her memory be a blessing.  זִכְרוֹנָהּ לִבְרָכָ.
