The Anti-Grapevine: A Degrassi Podcast

E302: I've Tasted Fame or Whatever (Peter Stone)

I’m not saying we started our season with a party at Fiona Coyne’s house and then met up with Peter Stone and suspiciously disappeared for reasons, but we’re back from our 12 hour bender in Regina and officially off House Arrest! The Anti-Grapevine is back, and this time, Loren and Conor are joined by the hosts of the impeccable Degrassi Every Episode Ever Marathon Podcast, Pat and Rachel, for the trial of the one and only Peter Stone! Degrassi loves a redemption arc, and there’s possibly no character with a rap sheet quite as long as our favorite Degrassi-principal nepo-baby. Join us for a parade through several seasons worth of premier episodes as we dissect, deliberate, and ultimately, pass judgment upon everyone’s favorite meth-addled noodle. (Content warning: Listen, it’s the Peter Stone episode. IYKYK.)

E301: I Almost Forgot What Privilege Looked Like (Fiona Coyne)

School is back in session, Panthers! In the Anti-Grapevine Season 3 premiere, Loren and Conor put on their bedazzled headbands and lacy gloves to celebrate the Princess of Park Ave, Miss Fiona Celestine Arabella Coyne. Somewhere between our thoughtful analysis and biting courtroom commentary, we completely lose our minds. So take the elevator to our podcast penthouse, our celebratory brunch is about to start. (Content warning: This episode includes discussion on intimate partner violence and alcoholism.)

E210: New Year, New Look, New Paige (Paige Michalchuk)

Give me a P! Give me an A! Give me an I-G-E! What’s that spell?! The Season Two finale of the Anti-Grapevine, that’s what! In this record-breaking episode, Conor and Loren take on the epic highs and lows of the once and future Queen Bee of Degrassi Community School, the one and only Paige Michalchuk. Grab your cowboy hats, caboodle purses, and perfectly paired indoor sunglasses, because it’s time to fête a true Canadian princess, hun. (Content Warning: This episode includes descriptions of sexual assault and discussion of inappropriate relationships between teachers and minors.)

E209: Not Just Some Weirdo Anymore (Connor DeLaurier)

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. (Content Warning: This episode includes discussions of grooming of a minor and bullying.)

E208: Welcome to Degrassi (Eli Goldsworthy)

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. (Content Warning: This episode includes discussions of mental health, self-harm, and toxic relationships.)
