  • The Bobbins Awards 2024

    30/01/2025 Duration: 02h17min

    2024 Corrie may now be very much in our rear view mirror, but before it disappears completely over the horizon, we have to hold it to account for its crimes against telly in this year's Bobbins Awards! Calling out the worst, weirdest and wackiest stories and characters of the past twelve months, the Bobbins Awards are a lighthearted look at the things that...well...just didn't quite work for us. Who did we pick as the Mardiest Mare? The Daftest Apeth? The Dirtiest Dog? To find out the winners in these categories and more, take a listen to the Bobbins Awards 2024!

  • Conversation Street Episode 664

    25/01/2025 Duration: 03h03min

    On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie shown between the 20th and the 24th January 2025 (Episodes #11,473 - 11,478). Another great week on the cobbles this week, we thought, with some high drama in court, devilishly funny moments from Leanne and Tracy, and a couple of definitely unexpected twists. Sure, there probably weren't many of us who actually thought Lauren would be sent down this week, but was anyone expecting Daisy's mic drop moment at the Rovers quiz? Or what about Ryan's latest conquest? As well as that, we had David the Dog's little life hanging in the balance, Cassie deftly avoiding any kind of recrimination when Daniel tells Ken about what Bertie saw at his party, and even another appearance from Seb! Up next in the podcast, it's The Kabin, where we chat about some criticism Corrie's received recently from a kidney charity over the way it's handled Carla's latest medical drama, and we finish things off with some listener feedback.

  • Our 2025 Pitches, Predictions and Prayers

    22/01/2025 Duration: 02h10min

    It's the start of a new year, which means time to dust off the old crystal ball and see what could be coming to the cobbles in the next twelve months! In this episode, we chat about our predictions for 2025, discuss what we're squeezing our hands together tight and praying will happen, and get our creative juices flowing by coming up with some storyline pitches for the year. Of course, it wouldn't be a prediction show without us looking back to last year's ideas and seeing how many of them we got right (spoiler alert - not too many!) and also hear some ideas from our lovely listeners. Honestly, who needs TV guide spoilers and leaks from The Sun when you've got this?

  • Conversation Street Episode #663

    18/01/2025 Duration: 04h09min

    On our latest episode of the podcast, we chat about everything that went on in Weatherfield between the 13th and the 17th January (Episodes #11,467 - 11,472) Despite dominating our screen time last week, there was relatively little follow-up to the stabbing story this week - at least for the kids involved, that is. Abi, on the other hand, has been having a proper rough old time of it, culminating in yet another ghostly return to the cobbles in the form of Seb! And she's not the only Webster with issues this week either, as Kevin's having problems of own downstairs... Also this week, Lauren's trial kicks off, there's a hostage situation at the prison, and a merging of Barlow storylines sees Cassie and Daniel finding out a few of each other's secrets... Up next on the podcast, we celebrate the birth of Lucy Fallon's new sprog in The Kabin, before hearing about your reactions to the stabbing story in the feedback section. We round off the podcast with our reaction to this week's cast news in a spoilery Kabin Ext

  • Luca Toolan Interview

    15/01/2025 Duration: 41min

    After his dramatic exit from the Street last week, Corrie actor Luca Toolan comes onto the podcast to talk about his year and a half playing bad boy Mason Radcliffe. We chat about Luca's interpretation of his thought-provoking exit episode, the secrets behind his final scenes and what it was like acting alongside the likes of Bill Fellows, Sally Dynevor and Vicky Myers.

  • Conversation Street Episode 662

    11/01/2025 Duration: 03h38min

    On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Coronation Street shown between the 6th and the 10th January (Episodes #11,461 - 11,466). Wow, what an incredible week that was! After the all-too perfect happy ending that was being built up for Mason last week, we had a feeling that he might not be making it out of Monday's episode alive, but we weren't expecting an episode quite like that. In a sequence that was part dream, part parallel universe, Corrie showed us what might have happened had Dylan not bought that zombie knife a few months back, before ultimately revealing how it actually led to Mason's tragic end. There were powerhouse performances all round as characters reacted to the news of the stabbing, and plenty of discussion was generated relating to who was ultimately responsible for 2024's first death on the cobbles. Not only that, but we also said a fond (and hopefully temporary) farewell to Evelyn as she headed off to university, whilst over at the prison, Bobby has a big request for a famil

  • Spoilercast!

    11/01/2025 Duration: 01h19min

    What a week it’s been for #Corrie! Whether you love spoilers or loathe them, news about the next twelve months on the cobbles has been everywhere this week - and for big fans of the show, most of it has been pretty hard to avoid. Although we usually steer clear of spoiler talk on the podcast, we couldn’t resist weighing in on what’s been revealed this week, especially since it’s also the perfect chance to discuss some of the 2025 storylines teased by new producer Kate Brooks at the press day we attended back in November. If you’re avoiding spoilers, this is one to skip - but if you’re keen to hear our take on some of Corrie’s biggest upcoming news and rumours, sit back and enjoy!

  • Corrie in 2024: A Year In Review

    07/01/2025 Duration: 02h09min

    In this week’s bonus episode, we take a deep dive into all things Coronation Street in 2024 - a year where the drama behind the scenes often rivalled what was playing out on screen! From the departure of producer Iain Macleod and the early releases on ITVX, to a wave of concerning press articles about the state of our beloved soap, it was certainly a bit of a challenging year to be a Corrie fan. But as always, there were plenty of moments that stood out for the right reasons. For every misstep - like the George and Glenda feud - there were episodes, stories, and characters that captured our imagination, including Paul's heartbreaking journey with MND and the chaotic antics at the Institute. We also had the multiple twists of the Joel and Lauren saga, the credulity-stretching reveal of Toyah’s baby, the undeniable charm of Dorin, and of course... #Swarla. In this episode, we’ll unpack everything we loved, everything that didn’t quite hit the mark, and everything in between. We hope you enjoy the ride!

  • Conversation Street Episode 661

    04/01/2025 Duration: 03h01min

    On our first episode of the 2025, we chat about what went down in Weatherfield between the 30th December and the 3rd January (Episodes #11,454 - 11,460). Swarla fans may not have got their Christmas Day pizza fest, but there was plenty of the pair on our screens this week to enjoy, including an impromptu declaration of love from Carla as the bells tolled midnight on New Year's Eve - but are her feelings reciprocated? Speaking of the Swains, Betsy's getting all loved up with Mason this week, but when he finds evidence that could get his brothers sent down for murder, he suddenly finds himself with a massive target on his back... Also this week, Evelyn gets fast tracked to uni, David declares war on Kit, and Tracy's determined to bring Cassie down. Another slow news week this week, so after Street Talk, we just round things off with a bit of feedback before finishing. Street Talk - 00:19:50 Feedback - 02:31:15

  • The Conversation Street Awards 2024

    01/01/2025 Duration: 01h27min

    2024 was another exciting year for Coronation Street, and it's time to award those characters, stories and moments that we enjoyed the best! The Conversation Street Awards were voted by you, our followers and listeners, and in this special video version of the awards, we reveal who you picked!  Also available as a shorter, video version on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/Jl25QYP6DcM

  • Conversation Street Episode 660

    28/12/2024 Duration: 03h05min

    Merry Christmas everyone! In our latest episode of the podcast, we chat about the festive - and not so festive! - goings on in Weatherfield between the 23rd and 27th December (Episodes #11,447 - 11,453). Before we dive into our usual Street Talk segment, we've got a bit of a Christmas treat for you: an interview with new Corrie producer Kate Brooks! When we were at the recent press day, we were able to grab Kate for five minutes to ask her about her vision for the show now she's at the helm - tune in to find out what she had to say! Up next on the podcast, it's business as usual with our recap of the week's episodes - and what a great week it was! The biggest event, of course, was Gail's departure from Weatherfield after 50 glorious years on the show. Did it manage to hit all the right notes, and what did we make of that very special cameo at the end of Tuesday's episode? Second billing this week went to the Battersby sisters, who came to blows in a Christmas Day punch up at the Bistro. As fans of both charac

  • The A-Z Of Gail

    26/12/2024 Duration: 02h50min

    After 50 years, Gail has finally bid a fond farewell to Weatherfield and headed off to a new life in the south of France. In this special tribute episode of the podcast, we bring you the A-Z of all things Gail, from Audrey to... well, you'll just have to wait and see how we managed to scrape the bottom of the barrel with the tail end of the alphabet! Focusing on the characters, stories, moments and even memes that make Gail an icon not only of Corrie but of television as a whole, this special episode of the podcast celebrates the life of one of the most enduring characters of our favourite soap. Also available on YouTube, featuring around 300 photos of Gail during here time in the show! https://youtu.be/XRsO2unD5QE

  • Conversation Street Episode 659

    21/12/2024 Duration: 03h01min

    On our latest episode of the podcast, we chat about what went on in Corrie between the 16th and the 20th December (Episodes #11,441 - 11,446). It may be the season of goodwill an' all, but sorry, we just can't bring ourselves to feel all that charitable about the Lauren story this week, which reared its head again with a fresh batch of misery for the terminally tragic teen. This time, Frankie's being diagnosed with aplastic anaemia - will Dee-Dee step in to help, even if it means keeping her own unwanted baby? Also this week, the word's slowly starting to get out that Daisy was the one who caused Shona's injury last week - though that's nothing compared to the hot gossip that Sally picks up on Friday when she sees Carla and Lisa kissing on the cobbles! Meanwhile, preparations for Gail and Jesse's wedding are in full force, though is Audrey right about her making a massive mistake? Up next, it's The Kabin, and we chat about Lorna Laidlaw's recent appearance on another podcast talking about her time on Corrie,

  • The Conversation Street Award 2024 Nominations

    The time has come once again to cast your votes in the annual Conversation Street Awards, now in its 13th year!

  • Conversation Street Episode 658

    14/12/2024 Duration: 03h09min

    On our latest episode of the podcast, we chat about what went on in Corrie between the 9th and the 13th December (Episodes #11,435 - 11,440). It may have made things a bit tricky when we were writing out the notes for the episode, but there was quite a bit of criss-crossing over of stories this week, which we always enjoy - and even better when drama with the Platts is at the centre of it! Gail and Jesse's wedding plans, Max taking his eye off the ball with Frankie and getting him whisked away by the Deerings, and, of course, all the intrigue surrounding Shona's accident on Monday night made for another explosive week on the cobbles, and we had a great time chatting about our reaction to it all. Not only that, but we also had Daniel and Daisy getting closer again, some brilliant scenes with Evelyn and even a new actor playing little Harry - great stuff! Not really very much in terms of news this week, so we skip over The Kabin section again and finish off with more of your feedback. Street Talk - 00:17:01 Fee

  • Stu Carpenter Character Profile

    10/12/2024 Duration: 01h07min

    Our bonus episode this week is a character profile of Stu Carpenter, who left Weatherfield for pastures new a couple of months ago after three years on the cobbles. After strumming his way onto the street in 2021, the guitar-playing vagabond-turned-Speed Daal chef has been involved in a handful of big stories over the years, most notably when we found out about the truth behind his wrongful imprisonment that saw him serve nearly thirty years behind bars. But how will Stu be remembered - as a lively breath of fresh air or an underused character who never quite reached his potential? Join us for a look back at his time on the street in our latest podcast!

  • Conversation Street Episode 657

    07/12/2024 Duration: 03h38min

    On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie shown in the UK between the 2nd and the 6th December (Episodes #11,429 - 11,434). Christmas time is nearly here, and as an early present, Corrie gave us a reprieve from all the police stories (well, mostly..) and instead focused on two of our favourite families of the Street: the Platts and the Battersbys. They may have been at each other's throats or otherwise ready to fall to pieces, but what's a soap Christmas without a family bust-up, eh? Leanne's plan to get revenge on her disloyal sister was delicious, and although we're always on the side of David and Shona staying together, we can't deny we were hooked by the mystery of what she got up to on Wednesday night... Meanwhile, you've got classic Corrie callbacks aplenty with Les' funeral, Rowan's on trial, plus there's plenty of Debbie Webster and even a rare Gail appearance... all in all, a lot to sink our teeth into! After Street Talk, it's The Kabin, and we couldn't not discuss the front page ne

  • Corrieliminator: Round 7

    04/12/2024 Duration: 01h30min

    It's been a bit of a while since Round 6, but Corrieliminator is back! Once again, we've got another set of thirty randomly chosen characters from across the years to rank and Corrieliminate, leaving only a handful to make it to next year's grand finale. From legends like Deirdre and Derek  to... more forgettable characters like Mel Morton and Lucy Barlow (see, we had to put their surnames in so you knew who we were talking about!), everyone's case is put forward - but only three can get through to the next round! If you'd like to have a say in the listener vote, head over to https://forms.gle/VRsmjGJraDKpFB4j6

  • Conversation Street Episode 656

    30/11/2024 Duration: 02h53min

    On our latest episode of the podcast, we chat about what went on in Corrie between the 25th and the 29th November (Episodes #11,423 - 11,428) Bit of a funny week for us this week as the pair of us watched two of the episodes separately from each other, so recording Street Talk was the first time we actually got to hear each other's opinions on the week's goings on! To cut a long story short, we're both very much invested in the revenge that Leanne is plotting for Nick after discovering that he and Toyah are still having it off behind her back - and the prospect of seasoned vindictive cow Tracy Barlow acting as spurned Leanne's second in command makes us all the more excited! Also this week, Carla gets a bonk on the bonce when Mason's brothers are interrupted breaking into the factory -  will her near-death experience spur her on to making a proper go of it with Lisa? Meanwhile, Alya returns to Weatherfield and spares no time in picking up where she left off with Adam, Lauren finds out whether or not Frankie c

  • Conversation Street Episode #655

    23/11/2024 Duration: 02h58min

    On our latest podcast, we have a natter about the episodes of Coronation Street shown in the UK between the 18th and the 22nd November (Episodes #11,417 - 11,422). It's the aftermath of the big whodunnit week, and Max is behind bars again after confessing to the murder to protect Lauren. Unfortunately for him, when David and Shona find out about what he's done, David's happy to throw Lauren under the bus - but did he do the right thing? Meanwhile, there are some saucy Swain and Connor scenes this week, as the latter decides to Swarla her pride after weeks of hesitancy and jump between the sheets with the undercover detective. Also this week, Mason's brothers are on the prowl, Dee-Dee finds out she's up the duff-duff, and Cassie resorts to desperate measures to keep her job as Ken's carer.  In The Kabin, we celebrate Corrie's recent wins at the RTS NW Awards, and we finish things off with some lovely feedback.
