The Anti-Grapevine: A Degrassi Podcast

By: Conor Michael and Loren O'Connell
  • Summary

  • Tune in each week as two rapidly aging millennials test their chops as former Degrassi superfans and dive deep into the characters you love, crushed on, and simply can't stand. Each episode, Conor and Loren explore the storylines that defined the kids of Degrassi Community School, and use those characters to come to an understanding about what this show taught them about themselves, the world around them, and Canadian teen soap operas at large.
