About this listen
As promised, this week we have part 1 of our interview with a very special guest - the man who brought Degrassi: The Next Generation to a whole new generation - Executive Producer and co-creator Stephen Stohn.
We were so pleased to chat with him and discuss not only what the series meant to him, but what it meant to audiences in both the US and Canada. Stephen explains the origins of Degrassi and how the series we love so much almost never happened! In fact, Degrassi: The Next Generation had a completely different title!
But alas, with a little luck - and a lot of love, a new generation was born - alongside an iconic theme song (which the Beach Boys helped inspire!). Whatever it takes, right?
We also talk about the casting process, the early fanbase (hello, degrassi.tv), how the series tackled heavier topics like abortion and suicide - and the different versions the US and Canadian markets aired.
So sit back and get ready to CHECK IT OAT!
