609 - Why does it feel so good to see yourself on TV?

Three Degrassi fans stop by The Degrassi Kid Podcast to discuss representation, identity and the power of seeing yourself on TV.

Falen, an award-winning Indigneous playwright, grew up in the re-run era of Degrassi Junior High. In this interview, she shares why representation on TV can resonate with marginalized communities.

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

Stevi shares what it was like to grow up without realizing they were Indigenous, how a racist joke led to them discovering their identity and what it was like growing up with a white-passing sibling who had a much different experience than them.

If you love Degrassi, this podcast is for you.
