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 and the world hasn’t ended! That’s the good news. The bad news: Hot Peter Lakos (and also an attempted slow-moving coup, but mostly Hot Peter) is back and the circle continues. Meanwhile, it’s Canadian Thanksgiving, we think, and Paige is falling apart in an oversized purple Banting sweatshirt. Onward and upward, Dope Monkeys! See ya next week!

Hey Broomheads, #DEEEMP is back to discuss, among other things, whether or not season 6 is, in fact, a bad season. We also have more JT’s death aftermath, and Spinner & Jimmy still have a t-shirt shop. So “take a big step back Lakehurst guy” and give a listen!

Hey, Broomheads, it’s Friday, so you know what that means?! It’s time to get cuckoo bananas with #DEEEMP!!! JT is dead and gone, and Schuyler/Stohn seem to be ready to move on, but not before one final (sad) celebration of a life that meant so much to so many. Even Sean, evidently.

Hey Broomheads, #DEEEMP is back and we’re saying goodbye to JT. He wasn’t always our favorite, but he was ours and his demise brought with it some true emotion even if it came and went so fast that it left our heads spinning a bit. Farewell, PJJT, you were annoying a lot, but we love you.

Hey Broomheads! #DEEEMP is back and, also, Sean is back... again, because this guy is always coming back from something. This time, it’s jail, evidently. Not Stouffville. We also posit that Mr. Dom is actually what would have happened to Mr. O had he continued his teaching path. It’s a fun one, Dope Monkeys, so don’t miss it!

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.
