Daughter of Philadelphia radio personality Marvin Burak, Lois grew up surrounded by controversy, creativity, and the fight for free speech. Determined to find her own voice, she launched The LOLO SHOW, an internet program that gave her space to connect and belong. The show later aired on SiriusXM and terrestrial radio, featuring comedians such as Shane Gillis and Jim Florentine before their rise to wider fame.

Now, her documentary The LOLO SHOW examines how family legacies echo across generations, reminding us that the voices of the past continue to shape who we are today. Beneath the story of her own journey lies another: Lois is the daughter of Marvin Burak, a controversial radio personality who spent years in court defending his right to speak freely, and her mother, an exotic dancer from New Orleans. This layered history makes the documentary not only personal but also a broader exploration of inheritance and identity.

Lois Burak is a media creator and storyteller who launched The LOLO SHOW to explore themes of identity and belonging. After nearly 25 years running a salon and day spa in Philadelphia, she enrolled in broadcasting school in her 40s and built her show from nothing. Today, she continues to build her platform through documentary work, blending family history with modern voices to spark conversation and connection.
