Conversation Street Episode #540
September 19, 2022 07:35 - 2 hours - 108 MBIn our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie that were shown in the UK between the 14th and the 18th September 2022 (Episodes #10741 - 10746). It was a tough few days for our Toyah this week, with the grieving Widow Habeeb up in court for Imran's murder. Still, it could have been worse as it did at least appear to be one of the shortest court cases in Corrie history, due in part to the fact that there was clearly only extremely flimsy evidence pointing to the fact that she'd ...
Martin Hancock Interview
September 17, 2022 06:30 - 36 minutes - 21.2 MBEarlier this year, after nineteen years away from Coronation Street, Spider Nugent web-slung his way back onto the cobbles as part of his first love Toyah's ongoing storyline. In our latest bonus podcast, we're joined by the actor behind the arachnid, Martin Hancock, who chats to us about returning to the Street after so long away, what's changed for Spider in the intervening years and the shocking revelations that, not only is he claiming to be married, but he's also working for The Man as ...
Conversation Street Episode #539
September 12, 2022 23:17 - 2 hours - 98.2 MBOn our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie shown in the UK between the 5th and the 12th September (Episodes #10735 - 10740). After last Friday's episodes were postponed because of everything going on in the news, we were in a bit of a quandary about whether to record at the weekend or not. Ultimately, though, we thought it'd be best to wait until the episode had aired as we knew that there was going to be a bit of a bombshell dropped about Spider - or should we say DC Nugen...
The Conversation Street Awards Tenth Anniversary Ultimate Showdown
September 06, 2022 21:30 - 1 hour - 72.8 MBEvery year, we love organising The Conversation Street Awards to find out what you think's been the cream of the crop in the past twelve months' Corrie. For this week's bonus podcast, to mark a decade of the awards, we put every winner from each year head to head to find out who should be crowned ultimate victor of the past ten years. Which villain was the number one Wrong' Un? What was the most shocking moment that had us screaming out "By 'Eck!"? And which storyline should be crowned Ultim...
Conversation Street Episode #538
September 03, 2022 05:39 - 2 hours - 126 MBOn our latest episode of the podcast, we discuss what happened in Coronation Street between the 29th August and the 2nd September (Episodes #10729 - 107340). This week, Stephen becomes increasingly desperate to find any source of income he can after Audrey announces she's drawn up a new will that doesn't feature him as a beneficiary. With his efforts to get funding for Sarah's Underworld venture off the ground hitting a dead end, he sets his sights on Jenny and the pub - will she fall for h...
Listener Questions Tenth Anniversary Special
August 30, 2022 19:50 - 2 hours - 98.6 MBThis week's bonus podcast is a special listener questions show, where rather than weighing in on a couple of Coronation Street topics, we instead natter away for over two hours about the podcast itself. After putting out the call for questions about the past ten years of the podcast, we were inundated with queries from our curious listeners, and we wanted to make sure we responded to every single one! So whether you want to know about our recording rituals, favourite moments from the podcast...
Conversation Street Episode 537
August 27, 2022 05:42 - 2 hours - 129 MBOn our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Coronation Street shown the in the UK between the 22nd and the 26th August (Episodes #10723 - 10728) This week, Stu gets released from prison and is determined to prove his innocence, but can the combined powers of Alya, Zeedan and (eventually!) Yasmeen get to the bottom of what really happened 27 years ago? Well we have a theory if they need a bit of help with that one... Meanwhile, there's double trouble for Bernie when she meets her do...
Anniversary Feedback Special
August 25, 2022 20:22 - 1 hour - 60.1 MBYou may remember we were recording a teensy bit late last Friday night and didn't get round to reading all of your lovely feedback sent in to commemorate the podcast's tenth anniversary. As you can tell by the fact that this is nearly an hour and a half long, we don't think we'd have quite had the time or energy to have popped it at the end of Episode #536, so here it is, in its own special episode! It was honestly so lovely to hear all your kind comments about Conversation Street, the commu...
Our Tenth Anniversary Trip To Manchester
August 23, 2022 18:10 - 2 hours - 111 MBWhen we headed up to Manchester for the tenth anniversary of the podcast with very little in terms of plans for the week, little did we know just how much Corrie related goodness we'd be packing into those seven days. From catching up with cast members to going behind the scenes to see some upcoming episodes being filmed, this was a truly unforgettable experience, which we're excited to share with you now. A big thank you to everyone who helped make this week happen! 0:06:22 Arrival 0:15:55...
Conversation Street Episode 536
August 20, 2022 07:42 - 2 hours - 116 MBOur tenth anniversary edition of the podcast is here! Recorded in an apartment overlooking the Coronation Street studios a decade to the day after the release of our very first show, this special episode covers everything that went on in Weatherfield between the 15th and the 19th August 2022 (Episodes 10717 - 10722). Confession time: we did originally intend to make this a slightly longer episode by including the virtual mountain of feedback and well wishes that you guys have been sending i...
Coronation Street Cast Vs Fans Quiz
August 19, 2022 06:32 - 2 hours - 96.2 MBWho knows more about the characters on Coronation Street - the cast who play them or the devoted fans? In this special episode of the podcast, made to celebrate Conversation Street's 10th anniversary this week, we aim to find out! Over the course of over two hours, we pit ten clever listeners against ten cast members from Corrie past and present with questions about the characters they play. Which side will be crowned champions? Tune in and find out! This episode was put together to raise m...
Conversation Street Episode 535
August 13, 2022 06:02 - 2 hours - 107 MBOn our latest podcast, we battle through the intense mugginess of the latest heatwave to bring your our thoughts on the episodes of Coronation Street shown in the UK between the 8th and the 12th August (Episodes #10711 - 10716). You know those times when characters get themselves into a spot of bother that they could easily explain their way out of if they only tried? Well, it felt like we spent most of the first half of this week yelling at Stu to stop saying he's not a murderer and actual...
Jamie Kenna Interview
August 09, 2022 08:08 - 39 minutes - 23.3 MBThis week, we're thrilled to be joined by Jamie Kenna, who Corrie viewers fell in love with over the past year in the role of Phill 'With Two Ls' Whittaker. Jamie chats about Phill's romance with Fiz, the budding bromance with Tyrone, and shares what it was like to film some of his most memorable scenes - including THAT concrete fight between Phill and Ty!
Conversation Street Episode 534
August 06, 2022 06:21 - 3 hours - 142 MBOn our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Coronation Street shown in the UK between the 1st and the 5th August (Episodes #10705 - 10709). This week, Ryan followed in his dear mum's footsteps, continuing the proud Connor tradition of making a hash job of robbing the Bistro. Yes, it was all a bit silly, but we love both Ryan and Debbie, so we just sat back and enjoyed the ineptness of it all, and we're looking forward to seeing where things go next. Also this week, we were treated ...
Corrie Goes Down Under
August 03, 2022 12:23 - 1 hour - 84.5 MBFor this week's bonus podcast, we pay tribute to Aussie soap Neighbours, which broadcast its final episode last week, by looking at all the links Coronation Street has had with Australia over the years. From Australian characters like Ian Latimer and Hannah 'Fake Katie' Gilmore to the time that Pat Phoenix, Jack Leslie and Doris Speed took a trip Down Under, we make as many connections as we can find to our Aussie cousins. After that, we take the opportunity to share our thoughts on the fina...
Conversation Street Episode #533
July 30, 2022 06:31 - 2 hours - 114 MBOn our latest podcast, we chat about the goings on in Weatherfield between the 25th and the 29th July (Episodes #10699 - 10704). We don't know whether it's the hot weather (though we suspect not as that seems to have passed Weatherfield by this summer!), but everyone seemed to be losing their rag on Corrie this week. Whether it's Kevin stressing out over building a cot, Stephen getting unreasonably irate about his supposedly fixed car breaking down, Beth getting narked off about Summer's ne...
Sophie Dainty Interview
July 28, 2022 08:08 - 34 minutes - 21.5 MBWe don't know about you guys, but Digital Spy has always been a website we've liked to visit for the latest entertainment news, and so this week on the podcast, we were excited to be able to talk to Sophie Dainty, the Deputy Soaps Editor there. Sophie chats about how she got involved in the website, what she thinks about spoiler culture in soaps and shares some of her personal favourite Corrie characters and stories from over the years.
Conversation Street Episode 532
July 24, 2022 14:46 - 3 hours - 138 MBOn our latest podcast, we dissect the episodes of Corrie that were shown in the UK between the 18th and the 22nd July (Episodes #10693 - 10698). This week was pretty rough for poor Kelly, who gets the Andy Carver treatment by being locked in a dank cellar by a narked villain. Fortunately for her, her stay at Weatherfield's least inviting AirBnB was cut short after a couple of episodes, and her rescue has led her to view Gary in quite a different light... Also this week, the local marriage g...
Corrie’s First Fifty Years
July 21, 2022 20:24 - 1 hour - 80.7 MBFor the past two and a half years, we've been working our way through the DVD box sets of Corrie between 1960 and 2009, supplemented with a few more episodes sourced elsewhere for good measure! In this episode of the podcast, we reflect on our overall thoughts of the experience. Did our first ever viewing of some of the very early episodes live up to expectations? Who were some of our newly discovered favourite characters, and is there anyone from more recent times that we've changed our min...
Conversation Street Episode 531
July 16, 2022 06:04 - 2 hours - 117 MBOn our latest podcast, we chat about what happened on Corrie between the 11th and the 15th July (Episodes #10687- 10692). There's someone about Maria this week, as the crimper-cum-councillor finds she's being stalked - but who could it be? Don't worry, though - in a not at all soap phrase of doom moment, Kelly remarks that SHE has never felt safer... Meanwhile, despite openly snogging in public at the end of last week's episodes, Tyrone and Fiz decide to keep their rekindled romance a secre...
Alf Roberts Character Profile
July 14, 2022 19:32 - 1 hour - 77.8 MBA character dating back to the very early days of the show, Corrie legend Alf Roberts was a mainstay on the cobbles for nearly forty years, earning the respect of his neighbours as a local councillor and mayor, as well as the adoration of many a Coronation Street viewer. Though nowhere near as experienced as fellow long-timer Ken Barlow when it came to women, Alf was linked with a few lovely ladies in the early days including Maggie Clegg and Renee Bradshaw, but of course it was his partners...
Conversation Street Episode 530
July 09, 2022 06:03 - 2 hours - 90.8 MBOn our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie shown in the UK between the 4th and the 8th July (Episodes #10681 - 10686). In fact, that's pretty much all we manage this week - for various reasons, we've had to make this a Street Talk only episode, but it's still a good couple of hours long even so! The main story this week was the big wedding of Fiz and Phill. Many of us had been wondering for a while whether it would actually take place or if she would instead opt for the muc...

Coronation Street In The 00s Part 2: 2005 - 2009
July 05, 2022 20:39 - 1 hour - 74.8 MBIt's been a a very long time coming, but in this episode of the podcast, we finally get round to chatting about the episodes of Corrie that we've been watching from the 2005-2009 era. This takes us very close to the start of the podcast, so parts of it felt very recent to us, but how did this affect our enjoyment of the show? This period saw the rise of Demon David, the violent death of Charlie Stubbs, and the beginnings of Tony Gordon's descent into villainy. There were also some fantastic ...
Conversation Street Episode 529
July 02, 2022 07:26 - 3 hours - 147 MBOn out latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Coronation Street shown in the UK between the 27th June and the 1st July 2022 (Episodes #10675- 10680). This week, the online anti-Maria campaign gets knocked up a notch when Weatherfield's esteemed councillor gets deepfaked into a porn video. Congrats, Coronation Street - you've actually made us feel a bit of sympathy for Maria for once! Honestly, Alf Roberts and Len Fairclough never had to put up with this kind of thing... Meanwhile, Fr...
2022: Our Reflections On The Year So Far
June 28, 2022 20:47 - 1 hour - 56 MBWe've reached the end of June, and that can only mean one thing: our annual mid-year look at how Corrie has been shaping up in the first half of 2022. We remember the year getting off to a bit of a ropey start when Gemma, Chesney and Joseph were put front and centre, alongside the misadventures of Emma and Faye, but things have certainly changed for the better, at least in our eyes, with the Abi, Toyah and Imran story, even if there's been one casualty there that we certainly wouldn't have w...
Conversation Street Episode 528
June 26, 2022 15:13 - 2 hours - 130 MBWe're a little bit later than usual this week, but here we are at last, chatting about what went down on the cobbles between the 20th and the 24th June in the UK (Episodes #10669- 10674). If you're a fan of Team Platt, there would have been a lot for you to like this week as its family members dominated the main stories. Firstly, you've got Audrey, who kept us very much entertained with her boozy shenanigans in the first half of the week; as well as this, you've got Max, who's managed to ma...
Jan McVerry Interview
June 23, 2022 16:19 - 54 minutes - 32.8 MBIn this episode of the podcast, we're joined by Corrie writing legend Jan McVerry, who recently picked up the Tony Warren Award at the British Soap Awards for her outstanding contribution to the show. After bumping into her after the ceremony, we got chatting and arranged an interview, and here it is! Here, Jan talks about how she got into the industry, what it was like to be given the task of penning the 50th anniversary live episode and the creation of beloved characters like Pat Phelan. ...
Conversation Street Episode 527
June 18, 2022 06:04 - 3 hours - 143 MBIn our latest podcast, we chat about what went down on the cobbles between the 13th and the 17th June (Episodes #10663- 10668). It's all go for Cathy this week as her departure from Coronation Street speeds along at such a breakneck pace, you'd think it was Toyah behind the wheel. Speaking of which, things aren't looking good for the younger Battersby sister this week - if being arrested for murder isn't bad enough, along comes a solicitor with the audacity to have a tattoo on her arm. Best...
Our Night At The British Soap Awards 2022
June 13, 2022 18:39 - 55 minutes - 37.7 MBAfter three years away, the British Soap Awards finally returned to our screens this year, and of course, we just had to be there to experience it first hand! In this episode of the podcast, we chat about heading up to London for the weekend to star spot outside the venue before heading in to watch the recording of the awards show itself. Of course, this was also the perfect opportunity to take lots of video footage and snap a load of pictures, so if you fancy checking out the event from our...
Conversation Street Episode 526
June 11, 2022 06:03 - 3 hours - 149 MBIn our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Coronation Street shown in the UK between the 6th and the 10th June (Episodes #10657- 10662). Whenever Corrie has a massive week like it did last week, it can be difficult to keep up the momentum in the following set of episodes. Fortunately, we were still gripped this week, with the mystery surrounding the exact circumstances of the crash continuing to keep us guessing. One thing's for sure, though: with all these characters suspecting T...
Charlie De Melo Final Interview
June 05, 2022 16:00 - 1 hour - 56.7 MBAfter four and a half years of playing Imran Habeeb, Charlie De Melo bowed out of Coronation Street in June 2022, his character succumbing to internal injuries sustained in a car crash. In his final interview with Conversation Street, Charlie talks with us about the reasons behind his departure, what it was like to film those action packed final scenes and the memories he will take away from being at the heart of the nation's favourite Street for nearly half a decade. Also available in vide...
Conversation Street Episode 525
June 04, 2022 07:04 - 3 hours - 159 MBIn our latest podcast, we share our thoughts on the dramatic events of Britain's Got Talent week 2022, which aired in the UK between the 30th May and the 3rd June (Episodes #10652 - 10656). This week saw the long-running battle between Alfie's parents come to a head in dramatic fashion as Imran discovers that Abi is planning to flee the country with their son. Then, after stopping Toyah from reporting Abi to the police, the new Mr and Mrs Habeeb are involved in a car crash that ultimately p...
Corrie’s Jubilee Jubilations
May 31, 2022 07:23 - 53 minutes - 40.9 MBWith the Platinum Jubilee festivities in full swing this week, we're all feeling in a bit of a celebratory mood here in the UK. To mark the occasion, we thought we'd take a look back at the past times when the residents of Coronation Street have put up the bunting and celebrated the Queen's Jubilee. From parades and street parties to even a Civil War reenactment, the Jubilee has always been an excuse to do something a bit special in Weatherfield, and the episodes are well worth watching if y...
Conversation Street Episode 524
May 28, 2022 07:53 - 2 hours - 124 MBOn our latest episode of the podcast, we chat about the goings on in Weatherfield between the 23rd and the 27th May 2022 (Episodes #10646 - 10651). Phill's always seemed a bit too good to be true, and this week, he finally slipped up by leaving Hope with his computer to discover he's been working on a tell-all exposé on John Stape! Not necessarily the dastardliest of crimes, we grant you, but enough for Fiz to kick him to the kerb anyway.. well, at least for all of five minutes. Also in thi...
Conversation Street Episode 523
May 21, 2022 06:18 - 2 hours - 129 MBOn our latest podcast, we have a natter about what went on in Weatherfield between the 16th and the 20th May 2022 (Episodes #10640 - 10645). When we started the podcast back in 2012, we certainly never thought we'd be using the words 'penis' or 'erectile dysfunction' quite so freely as we did in this episode, but with Tim's todger being front and centre this week, as it were, we really had no option. There've been mixed opinions online about some of the sexy shenanigans that went on in Wedn...
Gary and Judy Mallett Character Profile
May 17, 2022 20:24 - 1 hour - 57.6 MBThis week's bonus podcast is a character profile double feature on Gary and Judy Mallett. As they were pretty much joined at the hip whilst on the programme (and we're not just talking about all that time they were trying for a baby..!), we figured it'd be silly to give them separate profiles each. With Gary having just left the Street on Classic Corrie on ITV3, he's going to be quite fresh in a lot of your minds, so we thought it'd be a good time to take a look back at the family's five yea...
Conversation Street Episode #522
May 14, 2022 06:09 - 3 hours - 153 MBOn our latest podcast, we chat about what went down in Weatherfield between the 9th and the 13th May 2022 (Episodes #10634 - 10639). Last week's relatively enjoyable Aggie story sees a change in protagonist this week, as Peter finds out the extent of Mr Thorne's unprofessionalism regarding his liver transplant and vows to make him pay. Meanwhile, after Abi overhears Ben arranging a shady deal on the phone, she takes the opportunity to make him confess to lying in court - are Imran's days as...
The Weddings of Weatherfield Part 2
May 10, 2022 21:25 - 1 hour - 64.5 MBIn this second part of our discussion about Corrie's best weddings, we reminisce over some of the most memorable ceremonies we've seen on the show over the years. From the romantic nuptials of Elsie and Steve Tanner to the outrageous antics of Les and Cilla, Coronation Street viewers have been treated to all sorts of ceremonies over the years - and not all of them have gone quite to plan either! So take a trip down memory lane as we chat about our favourite Weatherfield weddings!
Conversation Street Episode 521
May 07, 2022 18:53 - 3 hours - 151 MBOn our latest podcast, we have a jolly good old chinwag about what went on on the cobbles between the 2nd and the 6th May 2022 (Episodes #10628 - 10633). Our monkey's paw wish really did come true this week, as podcast favourites Toyah and Imran get spliced. As the week ended and baby Alfie came home to live with them, it seems like everything's going great for Mr and Mrs Battersbeeb (we refuse to call them anything else!), but with Toyah still blissfully ignorant of the lengths Imran went ...
The Weddings of Weatherfield Part 1
May 03, 2022 18:55 - 1 hour - 66.3 MBAs another happy couple tie the knot on Corrie this week, we thought it was about time we dedicated an entire episode to chatting about the weddings of Weatherfield past. That turned out to be quite a big job, though, so we've ended up splitting the topic over two weeks! In this part, we take a look at some wedding related stats for Weatherfield, and comparing them to some numbers we've found for the real world. Which characters have been up the aisle the greatest number of times? Which mont...
Conversation Street Episode 520
April 30, 2022 06:25 - 2 hours - 137 MBOn our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie shown in the UK between the 25th and the 29th April (Episodes #10622-10627). All in all, it was a pretty good Corrie week, we thought, with a good mix of drama, comedy that was actually funny, soppy romantic scenes and characters having a good old gossip about someone else. As Daniel spectacularly fails to apologise for accusing Daisy of revealing Nicky's secret past this week, the guilt of being a nasty little scrote is starting t...
Doreen Lostock Character Profile
April 26, 2022 18:13 - 41 minutes - 34.5 MBFor this week's bonus podcast, we take a look at the character of Doreen Lostock, one of the original 'barm cake girls' from 1961, and who, along with Sheila Birtles, helped inject a shot of youthful energy into early original Corrie cast. Whether she was out chasing boys, dancing the twist with the volume up in the Corner Shop flat or getting into scrapes with a young Emily Nugent at Gamma Garments, Doreen was never short on energy, which is why, though only lasting on the show for a few ye...
Conversation Street Episode #519
April 23, 2022 07:03 - 2 hours - 124 MBOn our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Coronation Street shown in the UK between the 18th and the 22nd April (Episodes #10616 - 10621). This week, Nicky's career in education is over almost before it begins thanks to Max spreading pictures of her from her time as a cardigan wearer for hire around the school. Meanwhile, Ed makes an interesting discovery under Rick's floorboards, Imran struggles to resist the urge to play dirty when trying to unearth evidence that Abi's back on ...
Emma Brooker Character Profile
April 19, 2022 18:59 - 59 minutes - 46.9 MBThis week's bonus podcast is a character profile of Emma Brooker, who sadly jetted out of Weatherfield for pastures new on the other side of the world earlier this month. Thanks to her bubbly personality, sweet naivety and unwitting comic timing, Emma soon became a firm favourite of many a Corrie viewer, but did she end up getting a bit too much tragedy thrown at her towards the end of her time on the show? We discuss all this and more, including our favourite Emma moments, the inevitable Ra...
Conversation Street Episode #518
April 16, 2022 06:10 - 2 hours - 124 MBOn our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie shown in the UK between the 11th and the 15th April (Episodes #10610 to 10615). Pick a side, everyone, because the battle for custody of Alfie is properly underway this week, and it ain't looking pretty. With unexpected alliances to underhand tactics aplenty, we're not sure anyone's going to come out of this one looking good, but we're certainly enjoying the ride - as difficult as it might be for us to see three of our favourites a...
Kel Allen Interview
April 13, 2022 11:29 - 52 minutes - 33.3 MBLast week, we saw poor Laura Neelan shuffle off this mortal coil, taking Gary's secret about being responsible for Rick's death to her grave. This week, we chatted to the actress who played Laura, Kel Allen, about her two years on the show, including last year's courtroom drama, playing opposite Millie Gibson and Mikey North and, of course, those harrowing scenes last week when Our Kelly got to the hospital just too late to say goodbye to her mum... Also available in video format on YouTube...
Conversation Street Episode 517
April 09, 2022 05:36 - 2 hours - 110 MBOn our latest podcast, we chat about the comings and goings in Weatherfield between the 4th and the 8th April (Episodes #10604 - 10609). Sad times this week, as we say goodbye to two great characters - one going Down Under, the other heading six feet under. Emma's time on Corrie has been relatively short but saccharine sweet - was her trip to Oz with brainless scarecrow Jon a fitting exit? Meanwhile, as Laura shuffles off this mortal coil, we have to concede that she's definitely not faking...
Conversation Street Episode 516
April 02, 2022 07:50 - 2 hours - 126 MBOn our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Coronation Street shown in the UK between the 28th March and the 1st April (Episodes #10598 - 10603). We don't know about you, but we've been particularly enjoying Corrie this past month or so, and this week was no exception. After last Friday's fantastic twist that saw Laura taking the rap for hubby Rick's murder, this week it's her job to try and convince the police - and with DS Beckett holding a long standing grudge against the true c...
Conversation Street Episode 515
March 26, 2022 06:02 - 2 hours - 95.8 MBOn our latest episode of the podcast, we share our thoughts on the goings on on the Street between the 21st and the 25th March 2022 (Episodes #10592 - 10597). This week, Adam follows in his grandfather's footsteps by being the latest Barlow to end up in hospital after being pushed from a height as the story with him, Sarah and Lydia comes to a climax. Speaking of which, Tim's ready to pop this week as he eagerly awaits the go ahead from the love doctor (well, heart doctor..) to get intimate...
