The Talk of the Street is a weekly unofficial Coronation Street podcast that has been purposefully ill-informed since 2018. In around 105 minutes, Helen and Gavin break down the storylines of the week, share opinions, get things wrong, and pick out a Moment of the Week. They are the creative masterminds behind the London!? meme that you've seen that probably wasn't credited to us, the curators of Fred Noises, and they produce a free weekly blog that really deserves to be syndicated. They're also very humble.

Our first milestone — somehow, this is our 10th podcast. In this week's episodes, Johnny continues to change his mind about who he loves, Liz continues to appear in scenes she has no business being in, and Jenny continues to think her marriage is salvageable. Meanwhile, Gemma performed a full-nelson on Henry in the middle of the street in the name of love, Brian demonstrates the worst time to hand in your notice, Steve is only reasonably sure that he’s engaged to Tracy, and the mystery of the contents of a hot box remains unsolved. For now. Have a look at out website, thetalkofthestreetpodcast.wordpress.com for details on how to get in touch, as well as a reasonably regularly updated blog page.

Jack’s juggernaut of a sepsis story line comes to a heartbreaking conclusion this week with Kev having to make the toughest decision since he wondered about going to that mechanic’s conference last week. In other news, Johnny is at least 9.2 Johnny all they way through Friday, Sean goes bin-raking for a place to stay, Neil had red thrown on him in another disagreement with his fellow inmates, and Steve and Tim camp it up as imposter cleaners also imposing as Starksy and Hutch. David Soul would probably approve. Please feel free to interact with us.

What a week for fans of sausages and sausage rolls. Eccles will always love sausages. Simon has been sworn off them. Craig keeps the lovely flaky bagged remains from a sausage roll previously consumed, as well he might. In other news, Jack’s life hangs in the balance with Ally roaming the wards and halls of Weathy General reading the notes like he’d wandered into a library. Meanwhile, Ryan, who we’ve been tricked into liking, does his best to undo all that good work, and then manages to suck far too many other storylines into his. Dev’s been watching his collection of Mike Meyer’s movies. Steve has problems identifying Tracy’s ring. If you want to get in touch with us we’re thetalkofthestreet@gmail.com, we’re @corriepodcast on Twitter and we’re The Talk of the Street on the Facebook.

The World Cup is still on, so that means weird Corrie transmission dates. We do our best to muddle through. Flora lands a fortune — according to Adam — and has a 50s party thrown in her honor that has Steve turning up as Evel Knievel. Or Elvis. It’s hard to tell. There’s a double proposal that gives Ken a reason to turn up and say stuff. Simon is a tit. Plus, it’s really hot where we’re recording the podcast, so forgive us if we seem in a bit of a rush to finish up. Contact us by email at thetalkofthestreet@gmail.com, catch us on Twitter @corriepodcast, or find us on Facebook at The Talk of The Street. Please follow us on The Twitter. It would make our day. Cheers.

We’re back from our hols with enough obscure Richard Herring and Ice T references to make a sailor blush. We’re here to walk you through this week’s World Cup shifted episodes which sees Johnny and Hope descend into forms of purest evil. Once more we’re left to wonder what exact kind of crappy lawyer’s office does Adam think he’s running and Abi’s enthusiasm for bairns is perhaps unmatched for her enthusiasm for cheap vodka. And if Alya can’t even remember to stock up on the cream horns, what hope does Underworld have to survive? Also, beaver.

We're back to six episodes this week as we bask in the aftermath of Phelan's demise. Join us as we walk through this week's storylines (except Rosie). Gail's gullibility forces Roy to throw out some ninja moves and encourages Audrey into a car with Nigel Havers. Rosie leaves the cobbles and the law firm and if her attention to detail vis a vis photocopying is anything to go by, she won't be missed. Aidan's funeral finally gets a date and the spectre of the will begins to loom large. In a moment of desperation, Gavin considers changing his name to Kevin.

It's Britain's Got Talent Final Week (apparently) and that can only mean big things on the post-watershed cobbles. Join us as we walk through this week's storylines. We see a conclusion to Pat Phelan's shenanigans, how Robert's prediction of what will be the best day of his and Michelle's lives pans out, and David begins his fight back against Josh. Oh, and Nigel Havers is back. For fun, count along with us as we track the number of times we use the word ridiculous.

We recap, in a fairly organized manner, this week's action packed episodes. We cover heart breaks, heart attacks, and Phelan's new best friend who we think may be called Bryn. And if that wasn't enough, we have meundies news and Helen's clearly been working on her Mancunian accent since last time. Thanks to ukelele maestro, Steve Higham, for this week's outro music.

From this week's Coronation Street, we talk about Aidan's will, and the simplicity of contesting such a thing, as well as our dwindling sympathy for Johnny. In other storylines, Adam makes a new friend, and people completely overreact when an alleyway encounter with a drunk turns sour. And we almost get through all this without talking about the Royal Wedding.

It's been a busy week on the Street and at Talk of the Street Towers where a falling microphone results in a little dodgy audio. It's our first podcast. Give us a bit of a break. Hope you enjoy our analysis of the past week on Coronation Street. Feel free to drop us a line at thetalkofthestreet@gmail.com or tweet us @corriepodcast. Thanks!
