Conversation Street Podcast Episode 343


Another year is over, which means it's time once again for the Conversation Street Awards! We've tallied up all your votes, and in this episode we reveal which characters are the recipients of an award in each category. Who have you crowned Top Lad and Top Lass? Which baddie has been voted the wrongest Wrong 'Un? Which shocking moment had you crying 'By 'Eck!', and which newcomer have you welcomed with the warmest 'Eh Up!'? The results in our twelve main categories are all here, plus our brand new award - The Mad Fer It Diane Williams Award for Listener of the Year.

After the awards are over, we take a wider look back at 2018, reflecting on highlights for both Corrie and the podcast, including the new Victoria Street set, the change in producer, and other stories and characters that, though they may not have got an award, are still worth discussing.

We finish off the episode with the predictions segment, looking back twelve months to see what we thought would happen in 2018, before gazing into our crystal ball to find out what we think Corrie has in store for us in 2019.
