- 45 Nowhere St Omnibus - Six Episodes of our Spooky Soap Opera Back to Back!
Send us Fan Mail
Welcome back to the Dis-Labled Podcast!
Today we are doing something a little bit different because this episode is an omnibus of our soap opera ‘45 Nowhere Street’.
We (the students of Community Focus) wrote and performed this soap opera. We think it is very good and you will enjoy it. It is even better than Eastenders and Coronation Street. Take a seat and enjoy!

Send us Fan Mail
Today we’re asking the big question: How much does the journey to happiness really cost? Carol shares a moving poem on emotions, while Julia and Nadine bring a hilarious Talking Tale about a diner’s argument with a confused waiter. The group swaps dining-out stories, uncovers what a “Sharon” is—and Carol takes the mic solo for the first time, with surprising results.
