Conversation Street

Conversation Street Episode 267

We're away for a couple of days this weekend, so this podcast comes to you a bit earlier this week, just covering the episodes of Corrie between the 7th and the 9th August. So, the mystery Michelle's stalker has finally been revealed, and we can't say we're that surprised. We're not really fans of Will, and this story still isn't really gripping us, sadly. Fortunately, the Steve and Leanne stuff is still gold, and the thought of Rosie working for Adam and Todd is ripe with comedy potential. The question is, will anyoe actually remember Rosie's actually had PA experience at the factory? After Street Talk, we've got another cast interview for you to enjoy - this week with Jennie McAlpine! We chat with her for half an hour about everything Fiz - if you enjoyed last week's interview with Brooke, you're going to love this! Speaking of Brooke, it turns out that talking to us wasn't even the most exciting thing to happen to her last Friday - she also managed to get herself stuck in a lift! That's the lead story in The Kabin later in the episode, and we round things off as usual with some listener feedback.

Conversation Street Episode 266

Our 266th show covers the episodes of Corrie broadcast in the UK between the 31st July and the 4th August. This month, Conversation Street celebrates its fifth anniversary, and if Michael and Gemma can have birthday months, why can't the podcast? With that in mind, we've got (maybe!) a whole month of special features lined up for you in August, starting off with an interview with Brooke Vincent, aka Sophie Webster! Brooke kindly spoke to us for 15 minutes today about romance, religion and Rosie's recent return, and we couldn't be happier with how it went! Before you get to that, though, there's an hour and a half of Street Talk to get through - no, we're not quite sure why it went on for so long this week! Was it the speculation about Phelan's secret confession? The incredulity that we both absolutely LOVED Leanne on Friday's episodes? Or just the numerous jokes cracked at Michelle's expense basically revolving around the fact that whoever's kidnapped her deserves to be bought a beer? Later on in the episode in Street Talk, we discuss the SHOCKING news this week that Tristan Gemmill is secretly not really northern, and round off the show with some more listener feedback. All in all, we had a pretty fun time recording this week - hope you enjoy, and look forward to the rest of our pod-iversary month!

Conversation Street Episode 265

On Episode 265 of the podcast, we chat about everything Corrie between the 24th and the 28th July. This week, the most prominent characters were Toyah, Leanne and Michelle... no prizes for guessing that it wasn't our favourite set of episodes, that's for sure. Hey, at least we still had a bit of Billy and Todd stuff, and playing a game of 'Is Summer's granddad actually going to speak?' kept us entertained for a while on Wednesday. Ho-hum, you can't win 'em all.. Now, where can we sign up to join the 'Let's terrorise Michelle' brigade?  We quite fancy ourselves in one of those ninja outfits... After Street Talk, we take a look back at the original Corrie landlord Jack Walker in a classic character profile, followed by a review of The Addams Family musical, starring ex-Corrie ice cream man Les Dennis. We finish things off with a bumper feedback session and, unlike last week, some actual theme music!

Conversation Street Episode 264

Our latest podcast covers the episodes of Corrie broadcast in the UK between the 17th and the 21st July. It's the end of an era on the Street this week - we may not want to admit it, but the Rovers is now firmly in the hands of Peter and Toyah. It does seem, though, that Liz is starting to regret her decision to sell up, so who knows..? Also at an end this week is Neil's reign of terror, after Craig gets the evidence he needs to get his mentor arrested. With no epic climax to one of the biggest storylines of the year, however, we still reckon there could be a bit more to come. Meanwhile, Eva and Adam strike up a deal, and Brian has a rubbish storyline. Next up, although we didn't get to see any of Norris and Mary this week, they were still the inspiration for our middle section: a Corrie-themed Mr and Mrs quiz! We've been married nearly seven years now, but just how well do we know each other's Corrie favourites? After the victor is declared, we move into The Kabin to debunk the latest press rumours about Cath Tydesley, and finish things off with more listener feedback.

Conversation Street Episode 263

On our latest podcast, we run through the episodes of Coronation Street shown in the UK between the 10th and the 14th July. We may all be in denial about it, but it's the end of an era this week as Liz and Steve sign the Rovers over to new owners Peter and Toyah. Kate Oates had better have some good stories up her sleeves for this one otherwise we're starting a protest group to get the McDonalds back behind the bar where they belong! Also on Corrie this week, Neil starts to lose his cool after Bethany finally reveals the truth to Craig about his involvement in Nathan's sex ring, and Erica books a hotel room for a night of saucy fun with Kevin - will he give into temptation? After Street Talk, we do a quick character profile of Aidan Connor, before sharing our thoughts about the rumours of Joanna Lumley wanting a return to the cobbles in The Kabin. We then round things off with some more listener feedback.

Conversation Street Episode 262

This week on the podcast, we talk about the episodes of Corrie broadcast in the UK between the 3rd and the 7th July. Not the most thrilling set of episodes this week (sorry Chesney, even your stabbing wasn't enough to get us that excited), but we nevertheless enjoyed the start of Eva's revenge campaign against Aidan. Meanwhile, Jenny invites Singh for his supper, and Adam and Todd's first client at their new law firm is a 12-year-old girl... Perhaps not the kind of market they were going for, but it's a start, right? In The Kabin, we clear things up about the whole Katie McGlynn pregnancy brouhaha, then finish things off with a bunch of birthday month feedback.

Conversation Street Episode 261

In our latest podcast, we chat about Corrie between the 26th and the 30th June. Just a four-episode week this week, dominated by a few key stories with a couple of extra bits thrown in for good measure. In one of Corrie's worst kept secrets, Pat turns paternal this week, when he reveals to Nicola she's actually his long-lost daughter. Yes, it's all a bit soapy, but we still loved hearing about Phelan's upbringing in Liverpool, and if it means more Connor McIntyre on our screens, you won't hear us complaining! Also this week, Eva finally finds out about Aidan and Maria's affair, and we can't wait to see the return of her vengeful side when she starts to get her own back next week! After Street Talk, we take a look back at 2016 so far, now that we've reached the midway point. From Bashed Barlows to Battersbaby Bombshells, it's been a cracking six months - let's hope they keep up the good stuff in the second half of the year! In the Kabin, we take a look at the TV Choice Award nominations that were revealed this week, then we round the episode off with more of your listener feedback.

Conversation Street Episode 260

Episode 260 of Conversation Street takes a look at everything Corrie between the 19th and the 23rd June. Nathan tries to smuggle Bethany away to Belgium on Monday, and we don't think it's for the chocolate. Will she come to her senses in time? Meanwhile, it's all about secret hook-ups elsewhere on the Street: Seb and Faye have a post-prision 'reunion' but get caught out with the classic soap 'leave incriminating evidence at the top of the bin' mistake; Cathy gets locked in the bathroom during a date with Brian; and Aidan and Maria take advantage of Eva going off to France to get in some sexy time - what could possibly go wrong? Following the recent sad news of Roy Barraclough's death, we take a look at Alec Gilroy in a classic character profile next, before celebrating Sam Aston's recent engagement in The Kabin. Finally, we end things as usual with a selection of tweets and emails in the feedback section.

Conversation Street Episode 259

On the latest podcast, we talk about the episodes of Coronation Street shown in the UK between the 12th and the 16th June. Being such a Jenny/Johnny-heavy week, it would have been difficult for Corrie to have screwed this one up for us, really, although that's not to say we weren't upset when he dumped her on Monday night! We've got our fingers crossed for a quick reunion, and a lot more scenes with the fantastic Rich and Sal! Elsewhere on the Street, Daniel shows Izzy how a drug-taking scene should really be done, and we're introduced to Drew's daughter, Summer. Bright, adorable...maybe potentially irritating and possibly secretly evil? The jury's out so far, but good to get another clearly talented young actress on the Street nonetheless! After Street Talk, we tackle a pair of listener questions (our  least favourite stories that were generally considered to be strong, and our thoughts on which Corrie houses we'd like to live in), before a short, 'slow news week' edition of The Kabin. As always, we round off the show with the usual feedback.

Conversation Street Episode 258

On this podcast, we talk about the episodes of Corrie between the 5th and the 9th June. This week, David and Shona grow closer, but what will happen when the truth about her link to Clayton finally comes out? Meanwhile, Jenny's nose gets put out of joint when Eva hijacks her appointment with the jeweller, and the Barlows go ballistic when it's revealed who really pushed Ken. After Street Talk, we do a second character profile on Nick Tisley. After he left Weatherfield last week, we thought it would be interesting to compare our thoughts on him now with when we profiled him back in 2013 - and what a difference a brain injury makes! In The Kabin, we give a full run-down of the wins, losses and, of course, fashion highlights of the British Soap Awards, then we finish off the podcast with three bits of feedback.
