Conversation Street

Conversation Street Episode 105

On the latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Coronation Street broadcast in the UK between the 14th and the 18th July. Everyone's on the move this week in Corrie: as Marcus heads down south and Maddie returns up north, Andrea's nervously preparing to move in with Lloyd and Dennis plots to get his feet back under Rita's table. Meanwhile, it looks like Peter is swapping leaning against bars to life behind them - is Rob in the clear at last? In the news section, we talk about the possibility of the Coronation Street tour staying open until next year, whilst we learn more about Canadian viewing figures from listeners in the feedback section. Our character profile this week is on Marcus Dent.

Conversation Street Episode 103

This week on Conversation Street, we chat about the episodes of Corrie broadcast in the UK between the 30th June and the 4th July. What did we make of the return of Crazy Nick, who seems like he'll stop at nothing to make Leanne's life a misery? Should Gail defy her family and continue to involve herself in Michael's troubles? And of course we also have the answer to this week's biggest question: can you drink water during Ramadan? In the Kabin, we ponder whether soaps will still be around in ten years, following a recent comment by Russel T Davies, whilst the future of the factory is under discussion in the feedback segment. In the character profile section, we pay tribute to the World Cup by delving into the Corrie history books and finding out about footballer David Barlow.

Conversation Street Episode 102

This week on Conversation Street, we chat about the episodes of Corrie broadcast in the UK between the 23rd and the 27th June. It's certainly been a week of hellos and goodbyes, kicking off with everyone saying a fond farewell to Tina at her funeral on Monday. As for hellos, we're introduced to Kal's daughter Alya on Wednesday, with Gary giving her a particularly warm welcome! Meanwhile, David comes face to face with Michael Rodwell, who arrives at number 4 with romantic intentions towards Gail... Speaking of romance, visitors to the old Coronation Street set can now get married on the cobbles, which forms the main topic of conversation in the Kabin segment of the show. In addition to the usual feedback, we also hear your thoughts about the first half of 2014 for Corrie so far, and discuss our own personal highs and lows in this week's special segment.

Conversation Street Episode 101

On this week's edition of the podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie broadcast in the UK between the 16th and 18th June. With only a couple of episodes to talk about this week, we've got a fairly compact Street Talk section, where we chat about Carla's downward spiral, Andrea's secret revealed, and Faye's attempts to reunite Anna and Owen. Corrie's won another award this week, which means another short fashion spot from Gemma, and in the feedback section, we hear from a few more listeners who share our opinion on the babyish Simon. The character profile this week is Faye Windass.

Conversation Street Episode 100

It's our 100th episode of the podcast, and to celebrate, we've got a couple of segments featuring some of our listeners as special guests! First off in the Street Talk section, in which we talk about the episodes of Corrie shown in the UK between the 9th and 13th June, we're joined by Rob and Jules. We have a great chat about Owen's return to the Street, the appearance of Tina's mum, and Sally and Tim's hilarious unproposal in the Rovers. Up next, we host a Coronation Street quiz, in which listeners Mark, Regan and Stephen go head to head in an attempt to answer questions posed by all-round Corrie expert Tvor. Finally, we round off the podcast discussing the recent Gail and Me documentary in the Kabin section, before ending with some of your lovely feedback. We'd also like to give a big thank you to our talented listener Jo, who drew the awesome artwork we're using for this week's episode.

Conversation Street Episode 99

On our final double-digit podcast, we chat about the Corrie episodes broadcast between the 1st and the 6th June in the UK. What's black and blue, and orange all over? It's Tina of course, who sadly passes away this week following her run in with Rob, a balcony and a piece of metal piping. As the residents of Coronation Street are left stunned by the news, things go from bad to worse from Carla, who suffers a miscarriage brought on by the stress. Meanwhile, Gail comes face to face with the man who tried to burgle her house, and Sally is faced with the prospect of an unexpected proposal. In the Kabin, we chat about this week's Farewell Tina documentary, whilst in the feedback section, we wonder when Simon Barlow's going to be allowed to grow up. For the classic character profile, we trawl the depths of Lake Windemere and bring up Joe McIntyre.

Conversation Street Episode 98

On this week's podcast, we discuss the episodes of Coronation Street shown between the 23rd and 29th May. Well, what a dramatic week that was! The murderer may not have been the person we expected (never mind, Tony, we're sure you'll get an interesting storyline one day..) but we still loved how the episodes panned out. Excellent acting all round, and a great twist too. In the Kabin segment, we celebrate Corrie's wins at the British Soap Awards, whilst we hear your opinions about this week's episodes in the feedback section. The character profile this week is on Weatherfield's latest murderer, Rob Donovan.

Conversation Street Episode 97

On this week's early edition of the podcast, we chat about the episodes of Coronation Street shown in the UK between the 19th and 21st May. The truth about Mad Maria's scheme is out, and Fiz is on the war path, determined to make her pay. Peter and Tina, on the other hand, are still managing to keep their affair a secret, but with Rob sniffing around after his brother-in-law, how long will they be able to keep it under wraps? In the Kabin, we talk about the BAFTAs and Paula Lane's recent wedding (fans of Gemma's fashion segments will be happy!), whilst we share a listener email in defence of Sophie in the feedback section. With ITV's big publicity drive for next week's late night episodes, we spend the final segment of the show discussing our own theories of what we think will happen...

Conversation Street Episode 96

On Episode 96, we discuss the goings on in Weatherfield between the 12th and the 16th May. This week, Carla needs Peter more than ever as it's time for her first scan, but can he be trusted to make it to the hospital in time? Meanwhile, as Marcus gives into the temptation of Todd, his former flame Maria steps up her game plan to steal Tyrone away from Fiz. In the Kabin this week, we learn that Michelle Keegan is turning her hand to fashion design, and in the feedback section, we hear about your favourite and least favourite Corrie accents. Instead of a character profile, we are joined again by the DownEast Streeters' Mark Grant, who lets us know all about Jimmi Harkishin's recent trip to Canada.
