Acerca de esta escucha

Like Mother is a mother-daughter comedy that explores two generations of women who are a lot alike, but who are desperate to believe otherwise. This semi-autobiographical, 10-episode Audible Original follows 30-year-old Allison (Alison Stevenson) who is forced to move home after losing her job. Now that she’s back in Davis, and living with her mother Sarah (Susie Essman), the two must confront their combative relationship head-on and figure out how to live under the same roof.

Written through each character’s alternating perspective, this scripted audio series gives us an intimate look at the complicated relationship between a mother and her daughter - from one night stands in your mom’s house, to fat-shaming, to whether knocking on wood actually wards off evil, Like Mother gives us a front row seat to a raw and realistic portrayal of millennial relationships, and asks us to question, not only our own relationships, but ultimately ourselves.

This original podcast is 10 episodes, please begin with the episode titled 'Home Sweet Home'.

About the Creator

Alison Stevenson is a comedian, writer, and creator of Like Mother. As a stand-up, she has two full-length comedy albums under her belt, *Eat Me (2017) and Mommy Issues (2019). Since the start of her career, Alison has centered her work on both analyzing and dissecting her personal life – specifically dating, body image, Judaism, feminism, and how they all intersect with one another. She first gained popularity as a VICE columnist and has since written for various publications such as Glamour, The Guardian, Huffington Post, and MAD Magazine. She also wrote and starred in two short films, Thirty-Six and A More Modern Romance. Currently, she co-hosts a weekly livestream show called The Perfect Women (Adult Swim streaming), and can be heard on her dating podcast, V Single. If you ask her though, she’ll tell you her greatest accomplishment was being featured in an Ariana Grande music video.

About the Performer

Susie Essman has played the sassy Susie Greene for all ten seasons of the critically-acclaimed HBO comedy series, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and is in production for season eleven. Her hilarious bouts of withering sarcasm and uninhibited insults have become her character’s trademark.
The Los Angeles Times calls Susie, "The most lyrical purveyor of profanity on television. She makes the entire cast of The Sopranos look like rank amateurs. It really is a gift." The New York Times called Susie "one of the most vivid characters in the show, whose off-color tantrums have become an audience favorite the way Kramer's clumsy entrances once were." The New York Observer (which calls her "fantastic") says "she's taken female cursing to longshoreman levels, pummeling her bumbling, barrel-bodied husband with potty-mouthed invectives like 'You fat fuck!'."
Susie’s streetwise vernacular is perfectly suited for her life in Manhattan where she has been a veteran of the world of stand up comedy for thirty seven years. Currently, while performing recurring roles on Comedy Central's Broad City; Tru TV's *Those Who Can't; and NBC's Law & Order: SVU, Susie divides her time between New York City and upstate New York where she lives with her husband, four step-children, and a dog.

About the Performer

Labeled "one of the greatest live performers he has ever seen" by Jerry Seinfeld, "a mouthy, flesh-jiggling early Bette Midler" by The New York Times, Bridget Everett is a singer, actress, comedian whose explosive and unpredictable performances have taken comedy festivals all over the world by storm.
Bridget can next be seen in Tate Taylor's Breaking News in Yuba County opposite Alison Janney, Mila Kunis, and Regina Hall and produced by Jake Gyllenhaal. It was recently announced that HBO ordered Bridget's series Somebody Somewhere from Hannah Bos and Paul Thureen, which Bridget will star in and produce alongside Bos, Thureen, Carolyn Strauss and the Duplass Brothers. On the feature side Bridget has co-starred in Pattie Cakes$ and Fun Mom Dinner. She recently co-starred in the HBO limited series Camping. Bridget has also appeared in Judd Apatow’s Trainwreck and Girls along with 2 Broke Girls, Inside Amy Schumer, and Netflix’s Unbelievable, Lady Dynamite, AJ and The Queen, and Living With Yourself.
Everett and her band, The Tender Moments, perform regularly to sold-out crowds and have welcomed special guests as varied as Fred Armisen, Flea, Patti LuPone, Marc Shaiman, Peaches, and Jake Shears (Scissor Sisters). Their album, Pound It, is available now on iTunes. Bridget recently starred in the hit off-Broadway show "Rock Bottom" at the Public Theater in New York.

I love the storyline and the characters growth. I can't wait to hear more from Alison Stevenson.

Great podcast!

Written exactly the way it was supposed to be. Such an enjoyable series. I'd listen to more especially because there's profanity written in the story!

Excellent!

I love this so much. The relationship between mom and daughter is so relatable even without having the same beliefs. It’s very real on a daily basis and is very encouraging and thoughtful about the mother/daughter relationship. How they deal with relationships with men in their life and their family opened my eyes. How we are and how we try to be so different from our mom’s is proven to be silly and this shows we just need to let it be and cherish it. I listened as a daughter as well as a mother. I smiled, I laughed, I cried. I related and am so glad I came across this. I listened to every episode in 1 sitting and want more.

Love this. Relatable in so many ways.

After getting past the first chapter, the rest of the series had me snorting and cackling with laughter at the most unexpected places!

This is a treasure!

I’m on episode 8 right now and seriously, I’m loving this! I had honestly never heard of the main character (Alison) before this, but “Like Mother” made me look her up, and I’m a fan now. Just downloaded her 2 albums also! Thanks for the amazing work!

So Relatable, even for a 35 yr old nondenominational black girl!

Entertaining Series

Full disclosure, I’m the mom. My daughter, and only child, has a very good professional life and owns her own hone, yet, she’s 43 and I’m mostly never going to be a grandmother. Enough said!! Listen to this, you’ll laugh a lot, cry a bit, but it will truly make you think.

I’m not Jewish, but, boy can I relate

Narration is wonderful! The story is, even for Non-Jewish people, a perfect mix of the love-hate relationships between mothers and daughters.

Entire series is excellent!!! Loved it!!
