501 - Why was Degrassi so afraid to cover these topics? 

We're kicking off a brand new season with the hard hitting questions. How do you teach kids about self-harm and violence without teaching them how to do it?

We'll take a peak at three topics: suicide, self-harm and gun violence and examine where Degrassi got it right.. and where they got it wrong.

If you love Degrassi, this podcast is for you.

Watch the "Top 10 Degrassi PSA's" on patreon.com/degrassikid coming this Wednesday.

Thank you to @eeveepacini for being our first guest and for editing this episode!
