Join Pat and Rachel, two pals in their late thirties who can’t get enough Canadian teen drama, as they watch every single episode ever of one of the best, Degrassi: The Next Generation. Listen as they try to make sense of the storylines and the over-the-top outfits, give all of the characters nicknames only you will understand, and try to place the topics into the current political and cultural climate. If you like a meandering podcast, this one is for you!

Hey Broomheads, #DEEEMP is back after a week-long hiatus! In this episode, we chronicle the life of Jimmy and Spinner’s T-shirt store from fledgling idea all the way through to its actual realization and dissolution; all in the space of, about, a weekend. It’s Degrassi burning through plot as only Degrassi can, and we are decidedly here for it!

Hey Broomheads, #DEEMP is back! We’re doing a two-parter and, for the first time, it’s a Darcy episode. Darcy is putting sexy pics on the web with an assist from the always loathsome Hot Peter. Meanwhile, inexplicable sparks are flying between Mia and JT, and Ellie is amassing a large, personal stash of contraceptives. We’ll be off next week, so listen to this one slowly! We’ll see you back here in two weeks.

Hey Broomheads, #DEEEMP is back with a thankful reprieve from the saga of “Hot Peter and the Drag Racing Goons” to welcome Mia into the Degrassi fold! Along the way we’ll spend far too much time talking about Jimmy’s boners, and enjoy some of the wonderful numbers from the hit stage musical West Side Story. It’s a fun one for you Labor Day Weekend!

Hey Broomheads, it’s time for another #DEEEMP and the continuing story of (UGH) Hot Peter and the great drag racing adventure. Elsewhere, Frosh, I mean Ellie, is spending some time with Jesse outside of the bustling newsroom of the fifth largest paper in Toronto.

Hey Broomheads, #DEEEMP is back with the season 6 premiere! School is starting and the gang is all scattered, except for, like, 80% of everyone who are still at Degrassi. Oh! And Sean’s back, which bears some surprising fruit for Pat.
On a housekeeping note, Bheadz, we started a Patreon! So, if you’re so inclined we’re at Patreon.com/DEEEMP. Something to note, Patreon charges on the first of the month, so if you’re interested in supporting, think about waiting til September 1st so you don’t get charged for just one week! Thanks to everyone who even considers it!

Hey Broomheads, #DEEEMP is back from technical difficulties with a new episode Frankenstein’d together for extra #DEEEMPNESS. It’s graduation for our OG grade eighters and their exodus from Degrassi leaves both Rach and Pat in tears. There’s a lot to talk about in these two episodes and talk we did, so fire it up during your re-virgining ceremony or on your bus trip to Bible camp and enjoy!

Hey Broomheads, #DEEEMP is back and so is ah-DEEEEEE-LYN, and boy has he changed into something of a gaslighting sociopath. You hate to see it. Meanwhile, Liberty is reeling from the news that her unnamed baby’s adopted parents are moving to Seattle, and she turns to the bottle for some hilarious results. It’s dark times for our favorite Canadian high schoolers, but Rach and Pat’ll get your through! And happy 19th birthday to Bleed American!

Hey Broomheads, #DEEEMP is back, and we are barreling toward the season five finale with a two-parter that sees Emma develop a severe eating disorder in under a week, Spike and Snake reconcile through bad singing, and Paige force Alex and Hazel to at least try to get along. It’s a pretty serious two-parter, you guys, but that’s Degrassi!

Hey Broomheads! #DEEEMP is back to hop aboard that Friendship Club train with Spinner as he and Linus try and stop Degrassi students from assembling somewhere to talk about how to put condoms on. We think? Meanwhile, it’s Snake and Spike’s anniversary, which under normal circumstances would sound fun, but it’s Degrassi, so, it’s not. All this plus a visit from Mr. Del Rossi and our old pal, Billy Corgan! Enjoy and have a great weekend!

Hey Broomheads, #DEEEMP is back with a severely anticlimactic baby delivery as well as some very serious DTSQ action. It’s a fun episode for your 4th of July holiday weekend!
