Conversation Street

Conversation Street Episode 19

On this week's podcast, we talk about the Corrie episodes broadcast in the UK between the 10th and the 14th December 2012. This week's big storyline is the return of Carla and Peter to the cobbles, but do we give them a warm welcome back?  There's plenty of shenanigans going on under the covers at the Rovers, as Jason beds Stella, and is that jingle bells we can hear? No, it's an army of lollipop men - watch out Steve! We have a natter about Carla's time on the Street in the character profile section, take a look at the Corrie Christmas schedules, and get our first ever audio comment in the feedback section!

Conversation Street Episode 18

In this week's show, we discuss the episodes of Coronation Street broadcast in the UK between the 2nd and the 7th December. Is Tommy right to be so annoyed about Tina's part in the surrogacy? Should Dennis have been so ashamed of his job as a lolli.. we mean, traffic management operative? And is Lewis just after Audrey's hand cream? All this and more is answered in episode 18! Plus, we go back in time and find out about Street legend Elsie Tanner in our classic character profile, and go over the week's news and feedback.

Conversation Street Episode 17

This week, we talk about the episodes broadcast in the UK between the 26th and 30th November. We're both battling colds this week, but we soldier on to discuss the latest goings on on the cobbles, including Tyrone's latest beating from Kirsty, Jason's new business venture and Dennis' foray into the world of chip-and-pin. We delve into Jason's twelve years on the street in the character profile section, before finishing off with the usual news and feedback.

Conversation Street Episode 16

On this week's podcast, we talk about the episodes of Coronation Street broadcast in the UK between the 19th and 23rd November. As Kirsty grows more and more paranoid about Tyrone's relationships with other mums, she lashes out at Fiz - will Tyrone finally admit he's better off without her? Meanwhile, Kylie and Eva accidentally push Nick and Leanne closer together, and David longs for a child of his own (whilst sporting a quite hilarious Dick Dastardly-style moustache). In the character profile section, we look back over Fiz's time on the Street, including the infamous John Stape saga. We round the show off with a bit of feedback and some news, including the exciting announcement of a Corrie convention taking place in Manchester in January.

Conversation Street Episode 15

This week on Conversation Street, we discuss the episodes of Corrie broadcast between the  12th and 16th November. Find out about the extent of our hatred towards Rob, our indifference to the majority of Maria's boyfriends, and our ignorance of home pregnancy test etiquette. In the news segment, we catch up with how life in the jungle is treating Helen Flanagan (how do you think?), and we learn about some of our listeners' dedication to the Street in the feedback section.

Conversation Street Episode 14 - A Tribute to Bill Tarmey and Jack Duckworth

In this special episode of the podcast, we pay tribute to the late Bill Tarmey, the actor who portrayed fan-favourite character Jack Duckworth on the show. We explore Bill's journey from asphalt spreader to lounge singer to actor, and reminisce about some of our favourite storylines featuring Jack and his long-suffering wife, Vera.

Conversation Street Episode 13

In this week's Conversation Street, we chat about the episodes of Corrie broadcast between the 5th and the 9th November in the UK. There have been quite a few goodbyes this week - Gloria and Aidan leave in the back of a taxi, while Ken shows where his true allegiences lie and sends a snivelling Wendy packing. Come back in a few days as we say our own goodbye to Street legend Bill Tarmey, who sadly passed away on Friday. If you'd like us to read any of your tributes to Bill, or share some of your memories of Jack Duckworth, let us know via email, Facebook or the comments section below.

Conversation Street Episode 12

In this week's podcast, we talk about the episodes of Coronation Street broadcast in the UK between the 26th October and the 2nd November. Following her accident last week, Sophie is left wondering whether she'll ever walk again... before quickly being told the next episode she'll be fine eventually. Meanwhile, the conman becomes the conned, as Gail and Gloria test Lewis' faithfulness to Audrey. Also this week, Ken comes to regret spending so much time with Wendy, and Roy's return to Weatherfield brings an abrupt halt to Mary's theme nights. In the second half of the podcast, we look back over Sophie Webster's troubled teenage years, and run down some of the top Corrie news stories of the past seven days.

Conversation Street Episode 11

In this week's slightly earlier than usual podcast, we discuss the episodes of Coronation Street shown in the UK between the 22nd and 24th October.  As we were trying to keep the timing down, we do not have a news or character profile this week, just Street Talk and a Facebook special feedback section. Apologies for the crackling over the audio track  - we'll do our best to get to the bottom of it in time for next week!

Conversation Street Episode 10

This week, we discuss the episodes of Coronation Street broadcast in the UK between the 14th and the 19th October.  What do we make of Tracy's latest revelation? can Audrey trust Lewis any more? And has Gloria done enough to win Pub of the Year, or has Dennis scuppered her chances? All of this, plus Ryan's seemingly forgotten history, courtesy of our character profile, as well as a bumper feedback section.
