Beyond Swarla

We’ve temporarily gone weekly and it’s just as well because we have A LOT of Swarla to talk about! From the beauty of our two lovebirds sharing a kiss on the street, to the angst of Carla realising she might have to shut up shop, we navigate our way through this week’s storylines with a healthy dose of Idris detestation and our weird and wonderful theories. If even one of them is right it will be a miracle

We also catch up on the rest of the goings on in prison..sorry...on the cobbles...!

So join us as we chat foliage, found family and feckless fiends

Well we’ve been rooting around in Pandora’s box and found no end of content for you.

Swarla were a Horror Show (see what we did there) and then went all swoony, things went bump in the night for poor Sal, and we all hate Idris with a passion – plus what the hell IS the story with the land?

Join us on a whirlwind tour around the last two weeks of Corrie and stay to the end for a special announcement.

I'ts our Season 2 Finale (we're not quite sure what that means yet...)

If you weren't able to join us on our live stream on You Tube then catch up now on all the fun. Well, we say fun...it was pretty chaotic to be honest but we made it and now you can listen!

The video version is available on You Tube for the full ridiculous experience but we talk about Swarla, obviously, Lisa's empathy, that uniform, the Jodie shooting episode (what was that??), Sarah's court appearance and we try to solve strange case of the white gloves... We speak to some listeners and also try to run a pub quiz...it's random...come join us!

The cry from the Swarla fandom of ‘is there any Swarla?’ was met with a resounding no!

But never fear because we have heaps of scenes with our lovely ladies to chat wildly about. Aren’t we lucky!! Or is that licky? Mary?

We also talk psycho neighbours, weaponising casual greetings and some cracking costume choices….

And please listen out for content warnings when Caz shares some of her story with Elle.

Welcome to Series 2 Episode 7

If you would like to know what sour blue raspberry, Elle’s colourful twenties, Kevin the Teenager and poop flinging monkeys all have in common then you’re in the right place!

We talk about Jelly Babies, Batman, again…Carla’s song choices, all the flirting and THAT uniform…plus a whole load more

Then there’s Kit in bits, Wretched Ross and everyone’s favourite…JODIE!! What more could you want I hear you exclaim!

How about an interview with Libby, who gives us and American's view of Coronation Street...and Swarla.

Join us again, and help us search for our minds, which we have clearly lost…

Join us as we celebrate the triumphant return of #Swarla! OK, “triumphant” might be overegging it slightly, but we’ll take what we can get.

We’re talking Betsy, Ibiza tans and Kit’s ti— oh. Actually, no. That’s probably not the best way to phrase that.

You know what we mean.

Plus, we’re joined by the brilliant Amy Cudden to talk all things Becky Swain and beyond. Amy very generously gave us her time, her energy and some genuinely fascinating insight into bringing one of the Street’s most spectacularly infuriating villains to life - and we’re so incredibly grateful she did.

Join us for the mayhem!

Desperation has kicked in so we reminisce about the glory days of Swarla in their absence... so buckle up and enjoy the ride.

We also catch up with the goings on with the rest of the Cobbles residents (apparently there are some) and we try really hard not to moan too much - and we're shipping Braggie...just so you know...

Join us in the silliness - there is a lot of it about

We're all feeling the melancholy of not seeing our girls together on screen but never fear, we are here to entertain you with infinite daftness and the odd moan or two. We're talking about Betsy and her troubles, of which there seem to be many, the fall and rise of Lauren and Dylan and that short sleeved shirt!

We get more annoyed than ever about KIt (no surprise there) Idris (no surprise there either) and the Theo murder case...again....

We also listen to Elaine's story, as she navigates life.

Join us , won't you!

Join Jo and Caz (Elle is off trying to learn how to surf) as we talk all things Coronation Street. Swarla Fridays are back, the superhero edition, the wives are wife-ing HARD, and the police are policing harder…Lisa backed Sarah into a corner (in a professional capacity of course) and Betsy came home.

We also talked to Rhianna in June about her Let’s Talk Corrie channel, so join us for that too! We made predictions (all of which turned out to be tragically incorrect) but it’s still a bit of a laugh.

This week’s episode is an emotional rollercoaster as Betsy suffers a stroke, leaving everyone reeling and unsure how to process what has happened, Dylan is struggling to face the reality of the situation, and we admit we did not cope well at all.

Meanwhile Mary is on the warpath, determined to make her feelings known, suspicions grow around Christina’s bladder and Ross continues to cause trouble…but at least Joseph doesn’t have to go to Weathy High…

We also talk to Dawn, who tells us her story

Content Warnings: For discussions around Non-Fatal Strangulation, Stroke and Domestic Violence (within the interview)

We prove, categorically, once again, that we can not speculate for toffee but we did have fun trying

That was the week that was, we are off to lie in a darkened room

Thanks for joining us, and to Conversation Street Podcast for the prompts.

Welcome to Funny Friday where we find the comedy in soaps (not that hard) and hot tubs get a bad rep!

We talk funniest soap moment, ridiculous storylines (surely not), memes and the campest scene ever!

And it's FRIDAY - YAY!!!

Enjoy

Join us for our fourth 'mini cast' as we talk about our favourite era of soap, the greatest storyline ever (we struggled!) the most unforgettable episode and which year was 'peak' soap. It was harder than you'd think, this one!!

Thanks for joining us!

Caz and Elle x

Day three of Soap week and we continue our mini-casts. Today we chat about the man himself, our favourite cast member (no spoilers but you can probably guess!) behind the scenes, writers and creators and best acting performance. We also discuss which soap legends we should celebrate.

Enjoy!

There’s been a murder! Apologies in advance for our terrible accents but we’re discussing the newly married DS Connor-Swain, back at work and bossing it, and who we think might have done the dirty to Theo (spoiler, it may be a nonagenarian)

And as it’s Mental Health Awareness month, we have a special story from Elang who, despite a traumatic past leading to mental health issues, finds coping strategies and remains very positive.

Please listen for content warnings.

What a week! Elle and I are joined by special guest Jo to talk all about Swarla's special day.

WE also say bye bye baby, discuss vow and hen do havoc and everything wedding - you may never look at crumpets in the same way again

....and apparently there's a murder - who knew!!

Join Elle and I as we discuss all things Swarla, Roy's new wardrobe and THAT incredible episode dedicated to Todd's story.

We get very excited about a certain wedding, have a giveaway to...well...give away and we've changed our theme music - we think it's rather jaunty.

The invites are out, Lisa is divorced and the wedding looms, as does disaster, and near disaster, but never fear - my new co host, Elle, and I are here to talk all things Swarla and Corrie... and Kirsty joins me for a chat about another amazing couple - Sukeve - and we discuss how it's OK to ship two couples at the same time!

Join me for Episode 3 where I talk about Swarla, who is bringing up baby, and who is sending out the invitations?! There's a round up of Corrie generally and I talk to Elle who, in her line of work, has many stories to tell but her own one is the most important.

Watch out for content warnings before the interview and if you are squeamish - maybe avoid 1:24:00 to 1:25:30

Join me for Episode 2 where I talk about Swarla (obviously), and the huge dose of baby love which we all seem to have come down with. Carla is scared, Lisa is besotted and Sally is...well...Sally.

We also hear from another fan, Lara, who shares her story with us. As last time, adult themes, please listen for content warnings.
