Conversation Street

Phew! Weren't sure we were going to make it this week as Gemma's been fighting off a chest infection since last weekend, but here we are, just a day late, but with a shorter than usual episode. The majority of this podcast is taken up by Street Talk, which covers the episodes of Corrie shown in the UK between the 16th and the 20th April. It's been a week of revelations and no mistake, as two secre...

On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Coronation Street broadcast in the UK between the 9th and the 13th April. This week, the anti-racism charity boxing match finally takes place (looks like they couldn't find an anti-serial killing Scouse builder charity in time) and things get a bit out of hand for David, earning Gary yet another trip to A&E. Meanwhile, Robert's looking a bit mor...

On our latest podcast, we discuss the episodes of Coronation Street shown in the UK between the 2nd and the 6th April. From Chesney in a haddock suit to Mary and Tracy's trip to the aquarium, there was definitely something fishy about Corrie this week - plus we can only assume Pat grew his own set of fins to survive that ocean plunge and get across to Ireland on Monday. Meanwhile, back on dry land...

This week's podcast starts with a short tribute to long-time listener Tvor, who passed away a few days ago. She was the first person to give us feedback on the podcast, way back in Episode 4, and her presence will be greatly missed on the show and across the Coronation Street fan community as a whole. We then move onto discussing the episodes of Corrie broadcast in the UK between the 26th and the...

And here it is! This week, we reach another milestone in Conversation Street history as we pass the 300 episode mark and discuss everything Corrie between the 19th and the 22nd March. Sadly, we weren't especially enamoured by the week's offerings from the cobbles, be it Fiz's unwillingness to dob her daughter in to Tyrone, the continuing saga of Eva's hidden pregnancy, or the mind-numbing monotomy...

In the last podcast of the 200s, we chat about the episodes of Coronation Street between the 12th and the 16th March. A couple of massive talking points in this week's show, starting off, of course, in Street Talk with David's rape. Is it Corrie's duty to inform viewers about this issue that's often considered taboo, was it too much to put on TV before the watershed, and is it just another attempt...

On our latest podcast, we talk about the episodes of Coronation Street broadcast in the UK between the 5th and the 9th March. An interesting week this week, for sure. Although there were big plot developments in some of of the stories - Pat gets stuck in cement, Eileen finds out about the Calcutta Street scam, Tyrone cheats on Fiz - quite a bit of it made one or both of us feel rather angry, so st...

On our latest podcast, we talk about the episodes of Coronation Street broadcast in the UK between the 26th February and the 2nd March. This week, Billy finds himself in hot water as his painkiller addiction sinks to new lows. Pat, on the other hand, could be heading for cold water soon when he realises he's running out of time to deal with Andy and Vinnie's bodies. Meanwhile, it's the return of t...

Things get off to a great start on this week's podcast, as for the first five minutes, we're joined by a special guest who picks the five winners of our Mother's Day On Coronation Street competition! That's followed by a discussion of all things Corrie between the 19th and the 23rd February, which, thankfully, we were feeling a lot more positive about compared to last week! From Aidan and Carla's...

On our latest podcast, we discuss the episodes of Coronation Street broadcast between the 12th and the 16th February in the UK. Perhaps we didn't get the memo about it being Valentine's Day this week, because we certainly weren't feeling the love for this particular batch of episodes. Whether it's the the revival of Michelle's best left forgotton baby swap storyline, Toyah's continuing attempts to...

Welcome to Episode 294 of the podcast, where we talk about everything Corrie between the 5th and the 9th February. Our top discussion point in Street Talk this week is Zeedan's contract with the Habeebs - it's a shady deal for sure, but is it about honour-based abuse as much as some people are making out? Also this week, there's a surprising match for Carla's kidney (well, surprising for us at lea...

On our latest episode of the podcast, we chat about Coronation Street between the 29th January and the 2nd February. A great bunch of episodes this week, we thought - topped off, of course, by the return of the lovely Steph to the cobbles, who's back in town for her brother's funeral. Elsewhere, Gina turns her hand to being a mechanic (loved EVERYTHING about these scenes!), Daniel shares one of hi...

On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie shown in the UK between the 22nd and 26th January. To kick things off, we cover the outcome and aftermath of Anna's trial on Monday - though the guilty verdict was neither deserved nor unexpected, it's fair to say that we weren't exactly sad to see her banged up at the end of the episode; in fact, it was the musical montage sequence that...

On our latest podcast, we jabber on about the episodes of Corrie broadcast in the UK between the 15th and the 19th January in the UK. Anna's trial kicks off this week, and it's Seb who takes the stand first - will he be able to keep his nerve? Meanwhile, Toyah's paranoias over Carla culminate in a beer-illiant fight in the Rovers, and there's a shock for Craig when he discovers Bethany's unlikely...

In our latest podcast, take a look back over the episodes of Corrie broadcast between the 8th and the 12th January. All in all, it was a bit of a miserable week in Weatherfield this week, but what else can you expect when the Street's gloomiest couple are due to get wed? As Chesney ties himself in knots about whether to tie the knot, everyone else mourns the loss of Luke, following his grisly demi...

Hope you've got a lengthy car journey or a massive pile of washing up to do, because we think we've made our longest podcast yet! In this episode, we discuss the goings on in Weatherfield between the 1st and the 5th of January. Don't you just hate it when, after spending four years on the sidelines, you're finally given something meaty to do and then you get roasted in a fiery explosion? Luke, we...

The end of another year is here, and with it comes the sixth edition of the Conversation Street Awards! In this show, we look over who's made the biggest impression on us, the hosts, and you, the listeners, over the course of 201. Who's been the Top Lad and Lass? Which character will win our first ever Right Laff Award? Which story will be crowned That's Champion? Tune in to find out! Following th...

On our latest episode of the podcast, we chat about the Christmassy Corrie dramas between the 25th and the 29th December. They say Christmas is a time for miracles, and we certainly saw a bit of that this week, as Billy somehow survives falling off a cliff. Elsewhere, renowned lush Carla gets tongues wagging when people notice she's not been drinking, and Brian does his best to fill the Corrie Chr...

Merry Christmas, everyone! On our podcast this weekend, we chat about the episodes of Coronation Street broadcast in the UK between the 19th and the 22nd December. Get yourself comfortable, because there's an awful lot to discuss! Anna's attack on Eileen, Billy's near-death experience and confession, Carla's return, Todd's departure... There's over two hours of the show just dedicated to Street Ta...

Welcome to Episode 285 of Conversation Street, where we'll be discussing everything Corrie between the 11th and the 15th December in the UK. Although this was a farly quiet week on the whole, it got off to a smashing start with the return of the Bistro ninja on Monday's episodes. Yes, Weatherfield's assassin in black is back, but this time, there's someone new behind the mask... Speaking of dastar...

Episode 284 of the podcast has arrived! Thanks to some technical issues, we had to switch things up this week and push Street Talk to the middle of the episode, leaving the opening hour to discuss the nominations for the Conversation Street Awards 2017. There were some tough decisions to make this year, but we're sure you'll find someone that floats your boat in each category, so if you haven't vo...

This week on the podcast, we start things off a bit differently by announcing the winners of our Christmas on Coronation Street book competition, with the help of a special guest! We then move onto Street Talk, where we discuss the episodes shown in the UK between the 27th November and the 1st December. Get ready to suspend your disbelief, everyone, because there's a revelation for the Reverend th...

On our latest podcast, we talk about the seven episodes of Corrie broadcast in the UK between the 20th and the 24th November. Bit of a rough week for Robert, really - one minute he's being knocked down by a car, the next he's being told he's likely got testicular cancer. And does Michelle ease off on her nagging throughout it all? Of course not! Speaking of shrieking harpies, Anna gets dragged off...

Our latest podcast has us discussing all things Corrie between the 13th and the 17th November. This week's episodes saw some great performances from the leading actors, but when it came to plot developments, we can't say we were 100% satisfied. We've already made our stance on the marriage-wrecking 'Kana' storyline clear, and this week, we were just left feeling even more sorry for the blissfully...

There's no Friday Corrie this week, which can only mean one thing: early podcast! In our latest show, we go over the episodes broadcast between the 6th and the 8th November in the UK. Did Mary deserve that massive telling off from Jude on Wednesday? Are Jenny and Johnny really off to sunny Spain? Can Rita get to keep the Kabin? Comida? (Sim!) Next up, Winter is coming in our character profile sect...
