  • Everything I Wanted

    Degrassi means so much to me and I’m so happy Shane and Mike started this podcast. I used to watch Degrassi TNG with my best friend as they aired and it brings much such fond memories. Thank you for doing this.

    Long time Degrassi fan and I’m loving these rewatch discussions. Living in Australia we never had anything like Degrassi. Hearing Shane and Mike’s voices take me right back to the episodes. Keep it up guys!

  • The only podcast I listen to

    I don’t like podcasts, I just can’t get into most of them for some reason. As soon as I heard that Shane & Mike were making a Degrassi rewatch podcast the same time I’m doing my first start to finish Degrassi rewatch in 5 years? I couldn’t wait to play the first episode!

    It’s my comfort show now. I laugh almost every episode. It’s like a nostalgic escape every single episode. I get to see the show in a different way, it’s so exciting to learn new things about it.

    I even love the addition of ... more

  • Top Tier Nostalgia

    No idea why but at 36, I’m still watching Degrassi as my nostalgic comfort show. Grew up with these characters and this podcast is the cherry on top! SO fun and interesting to hear the hosts and special guests behind the scenes. Shane & Mike are so cool and it’s a joy to listen to as I rewatch the show as well. Keep it up guys, please! Us sad millennials need you! Haha

  • A+ nostalgia

    Love the behind the scenes and the guests coming on to talk through the episodes! I really have to say this pod could benefit from some editing. The digressions and sidetracks making each episode over an hour are getting to be a bit much. I find myself skipping ahead fairly often because the conversation goes off on a tangent.
