As a young Toronto school teacher, Linda Schuyler decided to introduce her Grade 8 students to the art of filmmaking. As it says on the inside flap of her new book, "The Mother of all Degrassi: A Memoir" (ECW Press), this was a momentous decision. "It set in motion a career of storytelling for an age group largely ignored by TV executives... and creates one of the most-loved television franchises of all time."In all its incarnations, starting back in 1979, Degrassi has spanned several decades, many fan-favourite cast members and over 500 episodes. The various series have many admirers, including filmmaker Kevin Smith, who calls Schuyler, "The greatest ally in entertainment young audiences have had since John Hughes."Listen in as Schuyler recounts her early struggles -- including a serious car accident -- and how she was able to stick to her vision in presenting a series that championed adolescents in all their diversity. Taboo topics including abortion, school shootings and other issues have all been fearlessly tackled on Degrassi. As Schuyler sees it, the series is really, "the world's longest-running anti-bullying campaign." She also comments on recent reports about the future of the franchise, including HBO Max's decision this month to push pause on a brand new Degrassi incarnation.
Linda Schuyler has released her memoir! When did Degrassi first battle with censorship? How did behind the scenes moments inspire the show?

When Loblaws announced last month that they were freezing prices on their no name brands, the response wasn't favourable. The public, already at or past the financial breaking point, saw it for what it was, a PR stunt meant to distract from the fact that they are making record profits at the same time that food banks are seeing their higher demand ever. Melissa Silber, aims to educate the Canadian public on large corporate conglomerates in Canada, as well as help entrepreneurs and small business owners and joins me today to discuss greedflation.

Linda Schuyler is the executive producer and co-creator of over 500 episodes of the internationally recognized, multi-award winning Degrassi television franchise. Her memoir,The Mother of all Degrassi,is out now, and Linda joins me to share the a little bit behind her incredible story. Lindsay Sealey, author of Made for More is back with a look at the “supergirl syndrome” and how it places undue pressure on GenZ women and girls. Lindsay shares some tips that we can employ to help them, and possibly even help ourselves escape from this trap. Finally, Sonshine and Broccoli the JUNO-nominated duo from Toronto who know how important it is for children to have music of their own have released a new album. Lisa Sonshine joins me to discuss how the pandemic pushed them to write this album for today's kids, and then shares the song Born to Be Brave with us, a song kids and adults will love.
