DeGrads: Between Periods | Apr. 12

Shane Kippel & Mike Lobel — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 03:59:00 +0000

We’re hitting pause between Degrassi: The Next Generation Shout Part 1 and Part 2 for a bit of a breather. Answering your questions, reflecting on the podcast so far, and getting a little existential about what Degrassi actually means to us now. From behind-the-scenes insecurities to “peanut-butter-in-the-mouth” lines, shirtless scene trauma, and whether we could’ve saved the world if acting never happened… nothing is off-limits.

We also dig into why revisiting Degrassi as adults hits differently, the pressure (and privilege) of being “stewards” of the show, and how this whole thing has become more meaningful than we expected. Plus: fan mail that genuinely moved us, the music and shows that shaped us back then, and a preview of what’s coming next with psychologist Dr. Deanna Klymkiw for Shout Part 2.
