This is a very special episode of Free Period because it features Alana’s very dear middle school friend and successful actor, Sam Lerner (The Goldbergs, Monster House). Sam and Alana get into all of the hairy details regarding their shared middle school experiences, including: musical theater program stories, public heartbreaks and humiliations, makeout parties, parental punishments and so much more. This episode is as heartwarming as it is hilarious. P.S if you listen you’ll learn what the term “tabletopping” means. Trust us, it’s good.

Sam Lerner: Rabbi Dudes, Musical Theater & Unrequited Love

Sasha Spielberg and Alana Haim take a trip back in time to explore their most awkward stage: the braces, the acne, a time where achieving a first kiss might as well be as easy as discovering an element on a periodic table and your bar mitzvah theme was the most important decision of your life. They divulge their most embarrassing stories from this, the most frightening years of their lives that made them the women they are today. They also bring along their friends and family to tell their own stories of heartbreak and embarrassment because a throwback + FML is what everyone loves. “Free Period” is a presentation of Cadence13.
