Tears, Panthers? Wouldn’t expect that from such whor– WHOA, whoa. Sorry. That was a little intense, even for us.

In the latest episode of the Anti-Grapevine, Conor and Loren fight live on air about Degrassi Community School’s very own MCR-impersonator, Eli Goldsworthy. Layer on your guyliner, take out a new insurance policy on your Hearse, and rewrite Romeo and Juliet to traumatize an evangelist, because this is an episode that goes there.

And next up on the field, it’s Panthers #88, the ground breaking and ceiling shattering Jane Vaughn!

In the latest episode of the Anti-Grapevine, Conor and Loren are joined by friend of the pod and Jane fan extraordinaire, E King to talk about Degrassi’s grungiest girl, Jane Vaughn.

So quit acting like such a girl and steal a convertible for the long drive this episode will take you on.

Need an escape? Disappear into… the Realm of Doom! Wait, no. That’s not what this is. This is the Anti-Grapevine. Whew.

In our latest episode of the Anti-Grapevine, Conor and Loren abandon living IRL to dig deep into Degrassi’s very own little intel that could, Hunter Hollingsworth. A character whose storyline sure hits a lot differently in our current moment, this most problematic of the siblings Hollingsworth leaves us with plenty to talk about.

After an accidental sojourn to the Degrassi black hole, we’re back, Panthers!

In this episode of the Anti-Grapevine, Conor and Loren dig into the founding father of famed Degrassi band “Whisper Hug” and one half of the show’s best bromance, Mo Mashkour.

So get ready to write some tunes, start a flashmob at graduation, and remember - he’ll bring fries back to the cafe and he won’t hook up with your boyfriend!

Get ready, brave Panthers—for we embark on a treacherous journey from which we may never return—the Degrassi Black Hole awaits!

That’s right, in our latest episode, Conor and Loren are joined by the one and only Jocelyn Claybourne of Degrassi Kid acclaim to pay tribute to the late, great first victim of the Degrassi Black Hole, Kendra Mason. Sister to Spinner Mason, girlfriend of Toby Isaacs, and nemesis to any who challenge her on the field hockey… field… Kendra is one tough cookie you won’t want to mess with.

(Content Warning: This episode includes discussions of gun violence, sort of? But not really? Listen. It’s Kendra. We’re just happy to be here.)

We’re sorry for skipping an episode, okay? We’re soorry. We’re soorry, we’re soorry, we’re SOORRY! How many times do we have to say it?

In our latest episode, Conor and Loren are joined by special guest Kristie Hunt to talk all about the winner of the 2005 Northern Sounds Showcase, and our hearts, Craig Manning.

Will Degrassi’s real Slim Shady please stand up?

On this episode of the Anti-Grapevine, Loren and Conor kick it old school and dive deep into the crimes and punishment of Degrassi’s original denim-clad bad boy, Sean Cameron. Not even an interesting meditation on class, a preview of the thirst to come in the rest of the season, or a Sellie/Semma feud could stop us from giving Bam Bam his due.

We are Sean Cameron. We want some chocolate milk, and we need this stupidity to be over.

(Content Warning: This episode includes discussions of parental alcoholism, gun violence, and suicidality.)

Help! A washed up teen star is trying to kill our season premier!

That’s right Panthers, the Anti-Grapevine is back for Season 2, and this episode, Conor, Loren, and special guest and fellow Degrassi podcast host extraordinaire Eevee Pacini are looking to the future to study the main girl of Degrassi’s Next Class, Maya Matlin. Our first foray into Next Class, Maya’s story starts with chicken cutlets and cellos, and ends with what we believe is one of Degrassi’s strongest character offerings. Life isn’t a race, so buckle up—because we’re not making any stops until the last exit.

(Content Warning: This episode includes discussions of mental health and illness, drug abuse, and suicidal ideation and attempts.)

Welcome to the new millennium, Panthers! In this week’s episode, Conor and Loren are joined by special guest and author, Keah Brown, to discuss Degrassi’s most underrated BFF, Hazel Aden. Cue up your PowerPoints, because this is one hell of a presentation. Oh, and BTW, Paige used to be straight before the Anti-Grapevine came along and turned her gay.
