  • Fun, cozy - smart and clearheaded

    Michael and Gemma have such a great combination of enthusiasm and curmudgeon. If you’re new to Corrie, you’ll find this podcast welcoming and enlightening. They take it all with appropriate levels of seriousness and snarkiness. Great cast interviews, character retrospective episodes, and other special eps. Like chatting with your slightly nerdy pals about your favorite soap!
