Hey Broomheads, #DEEEMP is back to tackle season three of Degrassi: The Next Generation , and we’re starting with yet another two parter. Spike is about to pop, Caitlin’s back for good, Ellie & Marco have become series regulars, and Sean has a new look, but is still being portrayed in a way that baffles us. Oh! And we meet Emma’s dad and he’s nothing a couple of knitting needles can’t handle! It’s a new season, but the same ol’ #DEEEMP, so enjoy!

Just when you thought there was nothing left to say about Degrassi: TNG season two, #DEEMP brings you the Degrassi Season Two Yearbook! It’s superlative city, thanks to a suggestion from Broomhead Lindsay, and Rachel and Pat crown the winners and losers of season two. Enjoy, and we’ll see you next week for season three!

Your pals are back to discuss the season 2 finale of Degrassi: The Next Generation . Craig has a short lived reunion with his dad, while the rest of the gang prepares for some kind of Hawaiian-themed dance. It might not sound like much, but about halfway through it turns into some real heavy duty bones and Rachel and Pat are here to help guide you through it, between coughs and sneezes, that is. Enjoy!

On this week’s #DEEEMP, Rachel and Pat take a deep dive on... The Smiths. They also talk about Degrassi , but, really there’s a lot about The Smiths. So, if that’s your thing, you’ll like it, if not, when you hear them first mention The Smiths maybe fast forward 20-25 minutes. OK? Have a great weekend, Broomheads!

Your pals are back to discuss a pretty busy episode of Degrassi: The Next Generation . Emma’s on board for a cause, Snake’s trying to figure out how to be a teacher and a stepdad, Jimmy’s got a lot of new sweatshirts, Spinner wants them and BY GOD THERE’S SCORPION BLOOD IN THE TOMATOES!!!! Or something. All this plus a deep discussion about who's the best Golden Girl AND Pat and Rachel’s separate, but interesting, encounters with John Popper. This is a good one, Broomheads! #DEEEMP 4 Eva....

New year, new look, new Paige! #DEEEMP is back and ready to kick 2019 off right. Though this episode of Degrassi is the last stand for a #DEEEMP favorite, we are about to embark on one of the cornerstone relationships in the show's history. Well, not yet, but the seeds are planted. Also Spinner chases Toby. It’s a fun way to kick off a new year, so come on and break your resolutions alongside your favorite pals!

It’s the last #DEEEMP before the Holidays and, boy, was this Degrassi episode divisive. Liberty takes center stage and delights one of our hosts while angering the other. Which is which? You can probably guess. Also, as an Xmas gift, Pat and Rachel sat through a Jake Epstein-featuring Hallmark movie and it was... bad. All in all, a pretty fun way to spend the holiday weekend. We’ll be taking a break for Christmas, but we’ll be back in the New Year for more of this. So, Happy Holidays and see you...

With only 10 shopping days left til Christmas, #DEEEMP is here to get you through the homestretch! This week’s episode of Degrassi is a largely uneventful one that focuses on Pat’s favorite punching bag, Mr. Mopsealot himself, Sean Cameron, but that doesn’t stop him and Rachel from having a lively discussion about everything from teenagers eating sushi to whether the Degrassi writers know what the phrase “down to Earth” really means. And, if that’s not exciting enough, our hosts manage to keep t...

With the Holiday season in full swing, Degrassi brings a kind of throwaway episode that sees JT crushing on a teacher whose name was made solely to be mispronounced, while Jimmy and Spinner enter into a world of brutal honesty that ends with the not-so-shocking revelation that Spinner pisses on toilet seats. Rachel and Pat navigate the episode between melodica performances, deep Van Halen dives, and ceremonial burnings. It’s a great, #DEEEMPing time! Enjoy!

MERRY THANKSGIVING, BROOMHEADS! On this weeks Tangent: The Podcast (#DEEEMP), Rachel and Pat talk about everything from foot fetishes to Christmas songs and, pretty much, any other topic you could possibly think of. Oh, and Degrassi. They talk about Degrassi too. It takes a while, but they do!

On this week’s #DEEEMP, Rachel and Pat are here to help navigate Spike and Snake’s wedding in our longest episode yet! Hopefully, this one will help fill the void when we take next week off for Thanksgiving. There’s a lot to discuss here, from manufactured drama to the emergence of a true Degrassi star and even a bad, bad perm. We’re here for you, Broomheads! Happy Thanksgiving!

What’s up Broomheads! We recorded this week’s episode on the night of the midterm election before things were settled, so you can listen along as Pat has a full on meltdown. As for Degrassi , this was a pretty fraught episode that wasn’t always the easiest to talk about, but fear not, your favorite pals were up to the task. We extend our sincerest apologies, Florida.

This week on Degrassi: The Next Generation , Manny and Craig go on a date and have some different ideas about how it went. It’s like Rashomon , but with Canadian teenagers. Listen as Pat and Rach discuss all of it, plus “shipping,” the Halloween theme song, Manny’s full name, and a host of other fun topics on #DEEEMP!
Nov 02, 2018•53 min•Season 2Ep. 23
This week on #DEEEMP, the heavy bones subside and are replaced by a Toby and Terri (TNT—DYNOMITE!) centric episode that allows Rachel and Pat to blather endlessly about the Auto Zone, the true mythology of witches (hint: they’re dentists), Silverchair, Ferris Bueller, and even Degrassi. Plus, we play a listener-suggested game that, in true #DEEEMP fashion, takes 20 minutes and goes off the rails almost immediately. In a text to Rachel after listening to the first edit of this episode, Pat said i...

Well, we’ve been asking for Degrassi: The Next Generation to go there and someone was listening (nearly two decades ago). In the go-thereiest episode thus far, Paige is front and center and Lauren Collins absolutely devastates in what may very well be the best acting the show has seen. We talk A LOT about this one, so carve out some time. It’ll be worth it.

Hey, Broomheads after a sick week we’re back with a brand new #DEEEMP and, boy, was this Degrassi episode... not great. But, that won’t stop Rachel and Pat from digging into it for almost an entire hour. Spinner’s farts, Ellie’s cartilage, and Ashley’s new haircut are all discussed, but the overwhelming specter of politics hang over us because, hey, it’s 2018 and that’s just life now. Enjoy!

It’s BONERDAY!!! On the latest #DEEEMP, Rachel and Pat discuss Spinner’s infamous granola boner, which leads to one of the most important discussions your two pals have ever had—which politicians have the saddest boners? Hint, hint: they’re all Republicans. All this and more on The Degrassi Every Ever Marathon Podcast!

It’s Friday, it’s basically the weekend, so it’s time for your #DEEEMP fix! While Ashley tries to chew her way out of the dog house, Toby nurses a (surprisingly) reciprocated crush on SPINNER’S SISTER! It sounds exciting, but it’s largely not, but that won’t keep Rachel and Pat from talking about it for an hour, and, as a bonus, they’re drunk! This may be an instant classic or a classic trainwreck, but truthfully, it’s probably somewhere in between. Enjoy!

It’s time, Broomheads, for your favorite Degrassi podcast, The Degrassi Every Episode Marathon Podcast, #DEEEMP!!! This was a really fun episode, but truth be told, a good portion of the podcast is (hopelessly) devoted to Pat’s mind being blown by the fact that Rachel has never heard the song “True Colors.” And both Alison Iraheta and Hailey Reinhart get some love as well. If ever you said “I’d love to listen to this podcast, but I’ve never seen Degrassi !” then this is the episode for you! And ...

Hello Broomheads! (We’re going with that now, OK? Fans of this podcast are now Broomheads.) How was your week? Ours was good, but sad because there wasn’t a new #DEEEMP for your souls. But we’re back and what an episode have we got for you! It’s the season-opening two-parter which, among other things, introduces us to Degrassi’s resident anti-hero, the one and only Craig Manning! Join us as we discuss child abuse, kidnapping, and whether or not bald people are overly sensitive to the smell of ha...

Season one of Degrassi: The Next Generation has come to an end after 15 episodes (which are actually 14 episodes, though, because the first one was two parts) and boy, what a party it was! Ashley does Ecstasy, JT and Toby pretend to do Ecstasy, and the rest of the Grade 8 girls participate in the natural ecstasy of wearing 3D glasses! It’s a ride, y’all! We’re taking a week break, so get your #DEEEMP fix while the getting’s good and then spend the break listening to all the other ones again! Or ...

What’s up Broomheads, we’ve made it to the penultimate episode of Degrassi: The Next Generation ’s first season. A season that has... not really gone there very much and this episode is no exception. Sean gets into a fight with Jimmy that can best be described as not very good, but Spinner damn near saves the whole episode with some sweet dribbling skills and a new found “Yes I Can” attitude. Oh! And the (not so) long awaited return of Ms. Kwan! There was lots to discuss, and discuss we did on #...

On the latest Degrassi Every Episode Ever Marathon Podcast, Pat and Rachel decide which Degrassi characters are and aren’t a$$holes, the absolute perfection of Liberty, and what to order at McDonald's. It’s your typical grab bag of topics and this time... your hosts are kinda drunk! Email us at everyepisodever@gmail.com !

Hey DEEEMPS-ers, (Just trying it out. Is it working? No? OK.) on this episode of The Degrassi Every Episode Ever Marathon Podcast (#DEEEMP), Rachel and Pat discuss Manny’s first true spotlight episode “Wannabe.” Will Manny and Emma have a friend break up? (Of course not.) Will Paige quote Heathers ? (You know it!) Will Liberty steal the whole show with a single scene? (I mean, duh!) All this, plus Rachel talks about her feminist weekend and Pat sings a whole bunch of Smashing Pumpkins songs. It’...

On the latest #DEEEMP, Rachel and Pat discuss which condiments are the correct condiments to put on a turkey burger, the current statuses of both Rebecca Black and Edna’s Goldfish, and TFW a teacher enlists the help of the FBI to catch a prankster. Oh! And Degrassi. They also talk about Degrassi. We swear.

This week on the Degrassi Every Episode Ever Marathon Podcast (#DEEEMP), Rachel and Pat finally run into an episode they didn’t like very much. The good news? That doesn’t make it any less fun to talk about. Earwigs, lunch ladies, math dyslexia, and Hazel all make their Degrassi debuts and you’d be surprised which makes the most impact. Listen and find out! Also, send us an email at everyepisodever@gmail.com .

It’s Jimmy’s birthday, so Ashley celebrates by complaining about how many nights he eats dinner at her house. Meanwhile, the rest of the Degrassi women are busy having each other’s backs and uncovering the power of womanhood. Seriously. It’s pretty incredible. *We had some technical difficulties, so there is a some echo towards the end of the episode.

Ashley’s dad, Steve Kerwin (that’s not his name), is back and he’s got a secret (it’s that he’s gay). Meanwhile in Grade 7, Liberty’s got it baaaaaaad for JT, which is as weird as it sounds. Plus Rachel and Pat discuss brunch, the Spin Doctors, chocolate milk, and more (a lot more!). And after you listen, send us an email at everyepisodever@gmail.com .

We’re back! While Jimmy deals with the trials and tribulations of a supremely stressful grade 8 year, Ashley is busy ruling over school announcements with an iron fist. Somewhere in all of this, Spinner and Liberty are feeling the blowback. Join Pat and Rachel as they attempt to cover an episode so slight it could be described in about three sentences. There are a lot of laughs in this one and, as per usual, a lot of nonsense.

In the aftermath of the epic Degrassi reunion that ended in the release of Drake’s “I’m Upset” video, Rachel and Pat head back to Degrassi for a very Jimmy-centric episode. Sex fever has hit Degrassi and it’s making our thirtysomething hosts a bit... uncomfortable. Will Ashley and Jimmy head to the bone zone? Can Toby convince Emma he’s suddenly into endangered turtles? To what big dumb animal does Sean most relate? Find out on the latest episode of the Degrassi Every Episode Ever Marathon Podca...
