15 Years in LA Pod
15 Years in LA - A storytelling podcast chronicling my journey through 15 unforgettable years in Los Angeles—from my move in August 2010 to today, 2025. I’ll be sitting down with friends, family, colleagues, and fellow dreamers who were there with me through the highs, lows, chaos, and magic of life in LA. Together, we’ll revisit the moments that shaped us, the city that changed us, and the stories that deserve to be told.

In the premiere episode of 15 Years in LA, host Sam Adler shares her journey from a small town in South Jersey to the edge of Los Angeles — landing in Ventura in 2010 with big dreams, no roadmap, and a whole lot of Jersey girl energy.
Sam reflects on the pop culture that shaped her (think The Hills, Kristin Cavallari, Paris Hilton), her early days as a child actor, and the unexpected film school detour that changed everything.
Plus: her favorite LA spots for brunch, hoagies, sushi, and a secret bookstore that feels like a movie set.
