One of the coolest parts of having the biggest Degrassi fan collection - is having the history of the show reflected all around me.

A part of my collection  - is the binders and binders of old newspaper clippings, magazine articles and press releases done for the show over the last 40+ years. This one is a TV Guide interview the Degrassi cast did in 1989 - just a few days before Degrassi High premiered with their hot-button abortion episode. 

Deep diving into the behind the scenes history of the show and hearing how actors, writers and creators reflected on Degrassi as it was airing - is one of the coolest parts of having such a big collection! And now, getting to share it with you week to week is even cooler!

So, I hope you enjoy a peak into a piece of Degrassi History and learn a little bit about how our favourite show was made!

This is so interesting! It will be really cool to see some more of these tidbits as you move forward in the podcast!

Excited to share ‘em! What’s so cool is all these clippings I have are stuff Stacie Mistysyn, Kathryn Ellis and Yan Moore saved up over the years. That’s Caitlyn Ryan, Degrassi’s original publicist and Head Writer. They did auctions for charity where they put up some Degrassi momentos they kept along the way. It was a no-brainer for me I HAD to get them!

You definitely need to digitize your collection fully at some point to make sure some of this doesn’t become lost media!!!
