818- What was it like being one of Degrassi's longest-running teachers?In this special watch party episode, I'm joined by Tom Melissis, who played Mr. Perino throughout Degrassi: The Next Generation and Degrassi: Next Class. But before he was walking the halls of Degrassi as a teacher, he also appeared in Degrassi Junior High as Jeff the Mechanic.Together, we watch through some of Tom's most memorable Degrassi scenes: Jenna lactating in class, Fiona bringing a pig to school, dramatic hallway fights, and more.Plus, Tom reveals that one of his fellow adult cast members once asked him on a date.

This week on a very special episode of Friendless, host James Avramenko welcomes acclaimed author Susin Nielsen for a live recording at Book Warehouse Vancouver.Susin's latest novel "Snap" tells the story of three unlikely friends brought together through an anger management program—and it all started with a real incident at a disastrous school visit 15 years ago. In this wide-ranging conversation, Susin and James explore the power of optimistic storytelling in dark times, the peculiar difficulty of making friends in Vancouver (despite everyone being "so outwardly cheery"), and why setting Canadian stories in "any town USA" drove Susin crazy enough to plant her work firmly in Vancouver's streets and neighbourhoods.They also dive into Susin's journey from craft services on Degrassi Junior High to writing on the show at age 22, creating positive work environments on Family Law, refusing publisher pressure to censor her work, and her recent experiments with meditation and church-going (for the community, not necessarily Jesus).Whether you're interested in the craft of writing, the challenge of building community, or just want to hear two people who love Vancouver bond over its friendship paradoxes, this conversation has something for you.Links & Resources: Susin's Website: susinnielsen.com/ Book Warehouse Vancouver: [link]Sign up for the Friendless Substack HERE!Follow Friendless on TikTokand on InstagramSupport the show, Buy Me A Coffee!!Create your podcast today! #madeonzencastr

Let's take it back to the vault! Back in 2022, I hosted a Degrassi Acting Workshop based on the real workshops used on the show. This bonus podcast was upload to Patreon for subscribers only. Now, it's available to YOU! Check out patreon.com/degrassikid for more up to date bonus content from your favourite podcast. Original Description: Today, you'll be working in groups. You'll be partnered with Kathleen, Joey, Lucy, Wheels and Maya! Together, you'll complete Homework Assignment #1 - Acting Workshops (Level 3).  The idea is to think about how your character would respond to questions like  "Describe your parents," "What makes your locker unique?" and "What are your strengths and weaknesses?"  Remember, a character like Joey might say he has no flaws, even though the audience would gladly correct him. While Kathleen might have a detailed list on what's keeping her from being 100% perfect.  This week, we'll go through each character responses and analyze them for how closely they match to their on-screen performances.  We'll see how Neil Hope takes on the persona of Wheels and answers questions about his social life and homework.  We'll see how much Anais Granofsky opens up about Lucy's absentee parents and the effect it has on her family. And we'll learn how Kyra Levy connects with Maya, a disabled student in high school.  Compete your own Homework Assignment and become one of the Degrassi Junior High Acting Graduates!

Stacey highlights media that's getting Indigenous representation right. She tells us why that representation has made such a personal impact.
