Episode 51 - Season 13: Believe (Tristan, Zoe, Winston, and Frankie)

The Social Disease - A Degrassi Podcast

Continuing our journey through season 13, we focus on some of our least favorite characters in all of Degrassi - Tristan and Zoe! In one of our longest episodes yet, we delve into what makes Tristan such a toxic friend, why Zoe is so terrible to every person she ever talks to, and the various romances they're involved in as well as the unfortunate abuse both of them face. We also discuss Winston's introduction to the show and the Best Friend's Sister trope with Frankie. General TW throughout the entire episode for discussions of rape, sexual assault, grooming, and statutory rape. Follow us on Twitter @DeSocialDisease and on Instagram @thesocialdisease !
