Conversation Street

On our latest podcast, we chat about the goings on in Weatherfield between the 10th and the 14th February (episodes 10,002 to 10,007). In a string of episodes that culminated in Valentine's Day, love, sex and romance was certainly on the minds of a lot of characters this week. When slimy Ray books an executive hotel suite for Alya, there's only one thing on his mind, and when Abi finds out his tru...

On this week's podcast, we cover the goings on in Weatherfield between the 3rd and the 7th February, which of course culminated in Friday's very special 10,000th episode. There was nostalgia aplenty as a stellar cast of characters boarded the party bus for a trip to Blackpool to scatter Dennis Tanner's ashes, but in true Corrie fashion, not everything went quite to plan... Also this week, there's...

This week on the podcast, we talk about the episodes of Corrie broadcast in the UK between the 27th and the 31st January. It doesn't happen all too often, but we do quite like it when storylines cross over in unexpected ways, and we did think that linking the story of Daniel not getting Bertie vaccinated with Maria's miscarriage really was quite clever on Wednesday. On the whole, though, we weren'...

On our latest podcast, we have a good old natter about the episodes of Corrie shown in the UK between the 20th and the 24th January. Love it or hate it (and if you know us, you'll have a good idea what side we're on!), the Jade story took centre stage this week, in scenes that featured a runaway child, a vicious chopping board attack, and incredible jumps of logic (Paradise Lost = Hope's in the lo...

We're in a bit of a festive mood in our latest podcast as this week, we're celebrating our 400th episode! And what better way to mark this podcasting milstone than by inviting Corrie legend Julie Hesmondhalgh onto the show to discuss her time playing fan favourite, Hayley Cropper? Before that, though, we crack on with a Street Talk covering the episodes broadcast in the UK between the 13th and the...

On the latest edition of the podcast, we check out the episodes of Corrie shown in the UK between the 6th and the 10th January. This week, it was the Jade story that took centre stage, as Hope's secret sister reveals her true identity as part of her plan to tear the Dobbs-Stape household apart. With some excellent performances from all the main players and some particularly fantastic Evelyn moment...

On our first podcast of 2020, we chat about the episodes of Corrie shown in the UK between the 30th December and the 3rd January. This week, whilst the Rovers' New Year celebrations may be a bit of a damp squib, Tracy and Paula certainly start theirs with a bang. Meanwhile, Shona's life hangs in the balance, Maria proves for the umpteenth time she's a terrible judge of character, and Kevin just ca...

In this special episode of the podcast, we celebrate the very best that Corrie had to offer over the past year, in the Conversation Street Awards 2019. In the last twelve months we've seen the collapse of #Kana, Gary's descent into villainy, the expansion of the Winter family and the arrival of the Baileys, as well as the heartbreaking death of Sinead, but which stories and characters did you vote...

On this festive edition of the podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie shown in the UK over Christmas week, between the 23rd and the 27th December. As long time Corrie watchers, we're no strangers to a good dollop of calamity on the cobbles as December 25th rolls around, but this year saw things taken to another level, with not only two characters meeting their maker, but also Shona being le...

On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie shown in the UK between the 16th and the 20th December. The fan theories were proven right this week as it turned out that the supposedly dead Vicky was actually alive and kicking and plotting with Michelle, and as for the baby, well it was doing a lot more than just kicking on Friday! However, as the Corrie gods giveth, the Corrie gods t...

In our latest podcast, we we have a good old natter about the episodes of Coronation Street broadcast in the UK between the 9th and the 13th December. This week saw Geoff and Yasmeen's return to Blighty after their trip to the US, and they're bringing some surprising news with them too! Meanwhile, Tim's in for a bit of a shock when he realises he also has a Vegas wife (alas - if only he'd been abl...

Advent has begun, and we're feeling all festive this week on the podcast, which covers the episodes of Corrie broadcast in the UK between the 2nd and the 6th December. We've been looking forward to the climax of the Michelle, Robert and Vicky story for quite some time now - not just because it seems to have been going on forever, but also to find out exactly how Michelle would get her revenge on h...

On our latest podcast, we discuss the episodes of Coronation Street broadcast in the UK between the 25th and the 29th November. Whaddaya know? Corrie IS still capable of dropping some surprise reveals on us that haven't been spoiled in the press beforehand! This week, we find out a big secret about Jade that puts a new spin on the character, and Michael certainly had a strong initial reaction to i...

Gemma's been away on a mini break to Copenhagan this week (though unlike Ryan Connor, she fortunately didn't have to enlist the services of a loan shark to fund it!), which means that it's a very late podcast! This week, we're chatting about the episodes of Corrie shown in the UK between the 18th and the 22nd November. There were some poignant scenes in both Daniel and Paul's stories this week, as...

On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Coronation Street shown in the UK between the 11th and the 15th November. After a lot of painstakingly close near misses, Michelle finally learns the truth about Robert's double life this week, and if we were him, we'd be very careful about letting her in the Bistro kitchen with all those sharp knives in future. Meanwhile, Carla's in for a shock...

On this week's podcast, we share our thoughts on the episodes of Coronation Street shown in the UK between the 4th and the 9th November. We know they're just big softies really, but both Paul and Gary put on their best tough guy faces this week, the former as an attempt to get David out of prison, and the latter to keep Ali and Ryan in check when the truth about his double life as a loan shark is...

Our latest podcast covers the episodes of Corrie shown in the UK between the 28th October and the 1st November. This week, there's high drama for Gemma as she goes into labour during a cable car ride in Llandudno. Meanwhile, the Platts wait with baited breath to hear Josh's version of the events surrounding his stabbing, and Jade gets her feet under the table at number 9 when Fiz is summoned to vi...

On our latest podcast, we cover the episodes of Coronation Street broadcast in the UK between the 21st and the 25th October. The annual October Super Soap Week is here again, and this year, Corrie's gone all filmic to mark the occasion. But behind the sheen of the film stock, background music and fades to black, did it have some epic stories and powerhouse performances to back it up? You'd better...

On our latest podcast, we cover the episodes of Coronation Street shown in the UK between the 16th and the 18th October. This week, there's trouble a-brewin' at the Big House when David finds out Josh has been locked up for committing another rape, and with talk of a riot to come, it looks like there could be some exciting scenes on the horizon! Meanwhile, Geoff wants to invest in the Bistro, Mari...

On our latest podcast, we talk about the episodes of Corrie shown in the UK between the 7th and the 9th October. Much like Sinead's time on this mortal coil, Corrie's usual schedule was cut short this week, but as usual, we still found plenty to ramble on about, including Ken's 80th birthday and the long overdue return of Emily (if only for a short while), both Debbie and Sophie Webster disappeari...

On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Coronation Street shown in the UK between the 30th September and the 4th October. This week, Dev finally finds out why Asha has been so secretive recently, and we're treated to some wonderful scenes highlighting just what a super young actress Tanisha Gorey has blossomed into - let's hope there's plenty more to come from this rising Corrie star!...

In our latest podcast, we waffle on about the episodes of Corrie shown in the UK between the 23rd and the 27th September. If you like issues-based stories, you've come to the right place as that's certainly the common thread through this particular podcast. To start with, Street Talk sees us not only continuing last week's discussion of homophobia in football, but also the revelation of Paul's his...

On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie broadcast in the UK between the 16th and the 20th September. This week's Street Talk section turns out to be one of our longest yet, and it's not because of the Daniel and Sinead stuff either - although everyone involved in that particular story is still firing on all cylinders, both in front of and behind the camera. What we end up talki...

On our latest podcast, we cover the episodes of Coronation Street broadcast in the UK between the 9th and the 13th September. It's time for another Corrie wedding, and this week it's the turn of Daniel and Sinead; however, what starts as the discovery of a lump on her neck leads to us having a lump in our throats as we're shown some of the Street's saddest scenes since Aidan's suicide. Elsewhere o...

This week on the podcast, we cover the episodes of Coronation Street shown in the UK between the 2nd and the 6th September. We may have been down on Corrie over the past few months or so, but you know what? We actually thought there was a lot to like about this week's episodes. Danger with the firey factory on Monday, some sweet family bonding scenes between Emma, Steve and Tracy, heartbreak for E...
