Episode 8: Episode 08 - Susin Nielsen

Remastered 2025. The original episode aired on November 15, 2010. Anyone who was a teenager in the 80s grew up on the wonderful Canadian drama, Degrassi Junior High. The show's success can be summed up by its fun cast, real teens, and great writing. As a teen, I never thought I'd be so lucky to meet one of those writers. Lee and I met up with Susin Neilsen at Oz Coffee on a warm, sunny Vancouver afternoon. We chatted about her picture books, novels and career as a TV writer. Her dry wit extends beyond the pages of her books and scripts into her in-person conversation. In the first part of the interview, we chatted with Susin about her newest book, Dear George Clooney, Please Marry My Mom. While the machines at Oz were a bit loud (actually, my recorder was just more powerful than I realized) we hope the background noise will make you feel like you were there with us.
