This is just a preview of my conversation with Degrassi Kid covering my FIRST EVER watch of the iconic Degrassi Junior High episode "It's Late"! Unfortunately after this part of the conversation, I started sharing my screen and Zoom recorded that instead of our faces (lesson learned!), so I figured I'd release this little bit of video that we have as a promo/preview of the (unfortunately just audio) episode to come -- SOON!!!

Have you ever wondered what happened to Rick Munro from Degrassi Junior High? Craig Driscoll, now a successful tattoo artist in California, stopped by Degrassi: School's In to chat with Eevee about the tenth episode of Degrassi Junior High, "Smokescreen", his experiences being on Degrassi for two seasons, and his life since! A brief episode synopsis of Smokescreen: Rick joins the environmental action committee to impress Caitlin. Meanwhile, Yick would rather make up a family history for a project than tell the class he is a Laotian immigrant. Eevee and Craig get to the bottom of important questions and topics such as: - How did Craig feel about the content of "Smokescreen" at the time of filming? - What does he remember about working with late director and Degrassi co-creator Kit Hood? - Would he ever attend a Degrassi convention or event? - Did he ever visit the set of Degrassi High after leaving the cast of Junior High? (spoiler: yes, and there's a great story!) - Would he eat a hamster? (spoiler: also yes, and...uhh... an interesting follow-up question) 😂

Taylor Phillips, cherished (and hilarious) friend of Eevee Pacini and beloved member of the Degrassi Kid Discord, stopped by Degrassi: School's In to chat "What A Night!" Side note: Taylor had never watched DJH prior to being asked to be on the podcast, which means you get *two* fresh perspectives this time around! Enjoy over an hour of chaotic stories, goofs, and answers to questions you've been dying to know the answer to, such as... - Is this episode from 30+ years ago relevant in 2024? - What do we think about how Degrassi handles pregnancy storylines? - Has Eevee ever shoplifted? - What kind of hot dog is Stephanie Kaye? - Would Joey Jeremiah eat a hamster? and more! Be sure to follow Taylor here: Instagram Tiktok and join the Degrassi Kid Discord to hang out with more awesome people who love Degrassi! and stay tuned for the next episode, "Smokescreen", with special guest, Rick Munro himself, Craig Driscoll!

"School's In!" is back in session with a VERY special guest -- Degrassi's own Tom Melissis! Tom is best known for playing Mr. Perino in Degrassi: The Next Generation. However, he first appeared on the show in the '80s as Jeff, a young mechanic in LD's dad's shop, who was introduced in the episode we're talking about today, "Nothing To Fear" (Degrassi Junior High Season 1 Episode 8)! Enjoy over an hour of stories, goofs, and answers to questions you've been dying to know the answer to, such as... What was Toronto like in the '80s? Which cast members does Tom still keep up with? Why was Mr. Perino such a jerk that one time? What is Jeff the Mechanic's last name? (the answer is important and changes Degrassi history!) Stay tuned for the next episode, "What a Night", featuring Taylor Phillips coming soon!

What if Stephanie never asked Wheels on a date?! ...That's not just a hypothetical question! We have the real answer!In 1986, Degrassi began planning their brand new series "Degrassi Junior High."  They dreamed up their main characters, their dramatic storylines and asked themselves "what if Stephanie went on a date with... Joey?"Through the next year, they worked on Degrassi, reworking and rewriting the episodes, until we got the show we love today! But, what was Degrassi supposed to be like? What were on those original planning documents from 1986?Together, Eevee Pacini and Degrassi Kid went through the Degrassi archives to find out and now we're going to share them with you!
