Excuse My Grandma: A Live Podcast Recording with Kim Murstein and Gail Rudnick

Kim Murstein is the founder and co-host of Excuse My Grandma, a podcast and social media brand that explores generational differences in relationships, family, fashion, and culture.

A New York City native and Cornell University graduate, Kim began her career in broadcast television. In 2021, while living with her grandparents in Palm Beach, she began sharing conversations with her grandmother, Gail Rudnick, about the realities of modern dating. Their candid, comedic exchanges quickly resonated with audiences and grew into the Excuse My Grandma podcast and social media brand.

Today, Kim uses digital storytelling to create relatable content that brings generations together. Excuse My Grandma has built an audience of nearly two million followers and received national media attention, including appearances on Tamron Hall, Rachael Ray, Fox & Friends, and CNBC. The brand has collaborated with Amazon, L’Oréal, Estée Lauder, Maybelline, Meta, and other leading companies.

Kim and Gail are also co-contributors to Excuse My Advice, their weekly New York Post advice column and video series. Together, they respond to readers’ questions about relationships, friendships, family, careers, money, and modern life offering two distinctly different generational perspectives.

Gail Rudnick, affectionately known as Grandma Gail, is the sharp, stylish, and refreshingly unfiltered co-host of Excuse My Grandma. Alongside her granddaughter, Kim Murstein, Gail shares old-school wisdom, candid relationship advice, and humorous observations about the differences between generations.

A lifelong New Yorker and Palm Beach resident, Gail grew up in an era of formal courtship, family introductions, and clearly defined relationship expectations. She met her husband, affectionately known as Poppy, after graduating Syracuse when she was 21, and the couple married six months later. Her experiences have shaped the traditional values and no-nonsense perspective she brings to conversations about modern dating, fashion, family, and social etiquette.

Gail’s memorable one-liners and practical “Rules” have covered everything from love and confidence to family and everyday life. Together with Kim, Gail is a co-contributor to Excuse My Advice, their weekly New York Post advice column and video series. The pair tackles readers’ most personal and complicated dilemmas with humor, kindness, tough love, and two generations’ worth of perspective.
