About this listen

Tune in each week as two rapidly aging millennials test their chops as former Degrassi superfans and dive deep into the characters you love, crushed on, and simply can't stand. Each episode, Conor and Loren explore the storylines that defined the kids of Degrassi Community School, and use those characters to come to an understanding about what this show taught them about themselves, the world around them, and Canadian teen soap operas at large.Conor Michael and Loren O'Connell Art

    Don’t bother checking the door Panthers, because we’ve locked you in the basement for this one. In the penultimate episode of Season 2 of the Anti-Grapevine, Loren and Conor dig deep into the basement dweller (no, literally, he took over Emma’s bedroom in the Nelson-Simpson house) and king of the Degrassi Glow-Up and very-direct-takedown, Connor DeLaurier. Tune in for an episode of laughs, concerning line readings, and a discussion on the merits if bad representation is better than no representation.

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

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.
