Ashley Albert, the creator of The Royal Palms Shuffleboard Club, The Matzo Project, and the kids’ band The Jimmies, had just adopted Elliott, her pup, a few weeks before we interviewed her. When we weren’t oohing and aahing at him, we managed to dig deep with Ashley into her unusually independent childhood, how she happened upon a long and successful career as a voice actor, how anti-Semitism has had an impact on her, AND what’s so great about stews (literally and figuratively).
