A Place Called Fairneck

A clever teenage journalist comically recounts the events that lead to a beloved member of her community tragically dying in a freak, plague-related accident the week before Passover. Think Sliding Doors in a modern orthodox North Jersey community.

Back to Sunday 05/11/2020

Back to Sunday In the season finale episode, Michal returns to where the story began - Sunday morning in Fairneck. It hasn't been an easy morning for anyone. Lovesick and tormented, Joey tries to distract himself with work, only to find his restaurant filled with frogs. Meanwhile, a few blocks away, Ben apologizes to Shoshana after their big fight at the open mic night. And, across town, an eager Beth visits Ilana on a dire mission. One thing is for sure: as bad as this day started, it's about to get a whole lot worse. /episode/index/show/aplacecalledfairneck/id/14353037

The Night Before (aka Saturday Night) 05/04/2020

The Night Before (aka Saturday Night) It's the long awaited Open Mic Night at The Lion's Den, and everyone's come out after Shabbos for the event. Even Joey can't resist crossing enemy lines to see what all the fuss is about. Ilana performs her own unique version of open mic, while Joey takes things a little less seriously. Meanwhile, tensions rise between Ben and Shoshana. What is Shosh so upset about anyway? And, Pharoah and the Plagues perform their hit song, Hail Storm For Your Love, a Fairneck favorite. /episode/index/show/aplacecalledfairneck/id/14254988

Last Thursday 04/27/2020

Last Thursday Beth finds a cigarette at Ramban and opens a full investigation, with Shoshana and Ilana at the helm. Meanwhile, Ben gets a visit from an eccentric electrician to help fix some loose wires in the basement...as we've learned, faulty wiring can be quite dangerous. And, a chance meeting between Joey and Ben at The Sleepy Bean Cafe has each of them trying desperately to prove just how handy he is (Spoiler alert: They're both lying). /episode/index/show/aplacecalledfairneck/id/14146256

Last Wednesday 04/20/2020

Last Wednesday The seventh grade protest against frog dissection has everyone at Ramban letting their guard down (well, except for Beth, who suspects the students are buying drugs on something called Instagram). With The Place catering the event, Joey jumps at the chance to see Shoshana. And, Michal takes us back in time to when Joey and Shoshana were high school sweethearts. Maybe they really were as intense as everyone says. So, what actually happened? /episode/index/show/aplacecalledfairneck/id/14043401

Last Tuesday 04/13/2020

Last Tuesday A freak plague-related accident is about to take place in Fairneck just in time for Passover. Now, Fairneck's resident investigative journalist, Michal Rabinowitz, takes us back to last Tuesday to catch us up on everything we've missed. Even before frogs were swarming the most popular restaurant in town, plagues and small town gossip were creeping up all over the place. /episode/index/show/aplacecalledfairneck/id/13941167

Sunday 04/06/2020

Sunday It's almost Passover, and residents of Fairneck can't help but wonder if the plagues of Egypt are really a thing of the past. The most recent offense? The mysterious appearance of 182 frogs in Joey Kershner's restaurant late last night. Luckily, Michal Rabinowitz, Fairneck's best investigative journalist and top seventh grader in her class, is on the case. She's not afraid to dig deep and ask the tough questions, like, why does everyone in town think Joey is so handsome when clearly he's old and gross? /episode/index/show/aplacecalledfairneck/id/13805681
