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.

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 for the two-parter with something for everyone! It’s got Kevin Smith, the birth of a fan fave couple, an ill-advised middle-aged kiss, ol’ gossipmonger Jay, and no sign of JT whatsoever. It’s a fun one and we’re glad to be back, and hope we can provide some relief during a not great time. Enjoy!

Hey Broomheads! #DEEEMP is back for your Friday, and it’s a good one. Spinner breaks up with Jay for what feels like the hundredth time, all while getting closer to Darcy AND Jesus! Meanwhile, Jimmy is leaning in to his sudden artistic genius and pulling away from Hazel in the interim. Also, listen to find out who gets what side of the “Best Friends” necklace between Trump and Steve Mnuchin, and hear, possibly, the most Rachel sentence in Rachel history. Enjoy and see you next week!

Hey Broomheads, #DEEEMP is back with the “Marco comes out to his Dad” episode, which means plenty of appearances by everyone’s favorite Super Mario cosplaying homophobe: Mr. Del Rossi! We recorded this episode while doing an Instagram live, which was a blast and thanks to all the BHeadZ who joined in the fun! You can watch the full Instagram live on our account @sparklespazz28.
