The Talk of the Street: A Coronation Street Podcast

November 23, 2018 - Silk Cut Shandy

Tim decides to attend court on Friday dressed as Agent 47 from Hitman while Sniper’s Dream is burning the midnight oil to come up with a new Christmas school play for an unappreciative Phil. It’s not looking great for Sally, and things go from bad to worse when Sophie decides to try to help. Mary’s nose is put out of joint when it transpires that Angie doesn’t share her enthusiasm for finding Jude. Meanwhile, Elsa’s not yet finished with Nick, and after weeks of not wanting a business partner, Audrey manages to give away half of the salon to Maria in under 24 hours, and Chesney ends the week looking like Donald Trump. If you want to get in touch with us, what’s stopping you? Certainly not the numerous ways in which you can do so.

November 16, 2018 - Tawdry Audrey

Sinead meets a weird nosy woman who very quickly convinces her that veganism is better than chemotherapy. Meanwhile, Elsa finds out about Nick and Leanne and uses one-half of two different metaphors in her threat to ruin him. Elsewhere, Audrey plays Pass The Bouquet with an unsuspecting Claudia, the after effects of Tracy hitting Michelle’s engine with a spanner sends Abi to jail and Seb down the path of adopting his own siblings, and were Friday’s episodes the first where no one who doesn’t work at the factory goes into the factory? You’ll have to listen to find out. Or watch the show.

November 9, 2018 - Gina's Zombiezee Boxset

The pickings be slim in a bit of a down week this week. We finally get sight of the mysterious E. It’s kinda worth it, I suppose. Nick continues to lie to anything that breathes, the North West Regional Stylists Awards are the only thing anyone can think about, Amy is cooking up an interesting plot with Adam that might make Steve and Tracy wish they’d stayed in Morocco and left Amy in hospital, Sally is making herself useful in prison, and Tim’s Dad continues unabated. If you want to transfer your thoughts from your brains to ours you can easily do so in three main tried and tested manners. Email us at thetalkofthestreet@gmail.com. get us on Twitter and Facebook @corriepodcast. And you can catch up with our madcap adventures at thetalkofthestreetpodcast.wordpress.com.

November 2, 2018 - Warm Boob Key

Gav spent more time than usual shouting obscenities at Daniel this week but credit where it’s due, the episode that solely featured Ken, Peter, Sinead, and Daniel was actually pretty good. Over at the factory, Peter may or may nor want to sell, Carla may or may not want to buy, and sooner or later Sarah is going to get her way with Gary in the office. Elsewhere, Dev’s picking darts out of his shoes, Ronan’s mother is the most Irish woman ever, Ryan is STILL in hospital but at least Amy’s home, and Liz reveals how she likes to keep keys to her flat warm.

October 26, 2018 - Squirrel Proof!!

Well, that was a long eight-day week. Tracy is only in one of the four days’ worth of episodes but still manages to throw Abi under a bus while taking advantage of peculiar police procedures. Sinead’s story inches along with the only real changes this week being that Claudia now knows and Daniel knows how to say hyperemesis gravidarum. Elsewhere, we’re expected to care if Chesney and Gemma ever become a thing, Brian continues to be a sniper’s dream, and Helen and Gav learn about the strange idiosyncrasies of the iTunes rating system. Oh, and please buy Gav’s book. So if you want to get in touch with us to tell us what our iTunes ratings are like in the country where you happen to find yourself, not that I care, I really don’t care, you can do so. Here’s how.

October 17, 2018 - I'm Going Nowhere

A shortened week on account of stuffs and life to do on Friday. We’ll make it up to you next week. Monday and Wednesday served up enough talking points, though. Michelle is threatened with an old-fashioned running down for the second week on the bounce, Jenny’s brave face is deserving of a Victoria Cross, Peter is the undoubted winner in his factory hissy fit with Daniel, Leanne’s solitary tear is enough to melt a Scotman’s ice-cold heart, and Nick is going nowhere, unless you ask him to leave. If you want to get in touch with us to ask us what happened to our recap of Friday’s episodes, you can either go back to the beginning of the podcast or you can send an email to thetalkofthestreet@gmail.com, tweet at us @corriepodcast, find us on Facebook @corriepodcast or hack into our blog which is the talkofthestreetpodcast.wordpress.com, and if you do so, please feel free to make yourself useful and write us some new content.

October 12, 2018 - Everybody Dies

Belter! What a wild week of weddings, car chases, massive reveals, and then everybody died. Steve is prepared for The Lift but he isn’t at all ready for The Punch, Ronan might be a top gangster but his driving skills leave a lot to be desired, Sinead reacts better than she probably should’ve at her surprise wedding, and Hannah has a bit of news for Liz and Jenny. I’m only slightly disappointed that she wasn’t the one to tell Hope and Ruby that Brian isn’t Santa. In all this excitement, what on earth is going to be Boring Moment of the Week? Email us at thetalkofthestreet@gmail.com, find us on Twitter and Facebook @corriepodcast, and we also have a blog, but doesn’t everyone, and we rarely update it, well doesn’t everyone, at  thetalkofthestreetpodcast.wordpress.com.

October 5, 2018 - Proper Fingers

The show feels a bit emptier after the Josh & David storyline bumps into a few things before finally making its way to its conclusion this week. Cormac’s death is felt pretty hard, particularly as we don’t really know if or when his corpse was lifted from Michelle living room carpet, and Ryan is so worried for his own safety that not even a trip to Ibiza can cheer him. Elsewhere, Johnny and Carla play Jim and Hannah at their own game in the blackmailing plot, Brian’s got an interview, Jude turns Weatherfield Psycho and has to return some videotapes, Sinead’s pregnancy is causing concern, and Tracy’s wedding to Steve is revealed to be next Monday, but will the free pass confusion spoil the plans? Yeah. It really has been one of those weeks. Never mind. Next week, everybody dies.

September 28, 2018 - Blame San Diego

In a move that was baffling even by Steve’s standards, an ambiguous note leaves him thinking that Tracy has given him the green light to sow whatever potent oats a six-time married man can have ahead of wedding number seven. Meanwhile, Billy gets a visit from a partially blind rapist and lets him in. In other news, Johnny finds out the cost of a bonk with Liz, Cormack shouldn’t be buying any green bananas, Ken can’t write publishable fiction, Jude faints, and we’re pretty sure Sean has forgotten Carol ever existed. It’s a shorter episode, but not as shorter as Gav thought it would be.

September 21, 2018 - No Bamber Gascoigne

Imran can’t have had a more eventful week since his parents tried to kidnap his sister. First, he has his poker in two Battersby fires, then it’s his big pre-trial hearing, and finally Tim would like to him to have a word with Fist One and Fist Two. Elsewhere, Liz is falling further under the spell of Hannah and Jim’s lies, Peter gets his knickers in a knot about Simon’s bag being launched over a bridge, Steve draws the line at Mary’s armpit, and Ken disappears up his own nipsy. Oh, and there’s a pub quiz. Everyone loves a pub quiz. Feedback and comments welcome at thetalkofthestreet@gmail.com on the email, @corriepodcast on the Twitter and Facebook and there’s a blog, don’tcha know, thetalkofthestreetpodcast.wordpress.com. A review or rating on iTunes wouldn’t go amiss neither.
