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.

Customer Reviews
BEST PODCAST EVER
I have been listening to podcasts since 2010 when I was still in highschool, and this is BY FAR the best podcast I have ever listened too! Alana and Sasha are not only incredibly hilarious, and endearing, but their stories are also super relatable. It also has been very therapeutic to go back to 7th grade, and has helped me process lots of stuff and give my younger self a huge hug. I can’t wait for season 2! Please do a Danielle and Este part 2!
from your one gen Z listener
I really love this podcast- it’s so cool that even though I definitely didn’t grow up in the same time as y’all I still relate so much
It really feels like you’re with your best friends sitting around a table drinking in the best way possible
Mom fan
I’m a Valley girl, now mom of adult kids, who loves Haim and also was a huge geek at Portola Jr High and Birmingham. Love the podcast, love the banter. Also, I want to fix up Alana with my son, the cute music producer who lives in North Hollywood. Grew up on Sasha’s street in the Palisades. He would kill me if he knew. But check out his band Courtship and DM him @micahggg. Keep the episodes coming girls!!!
