Of Mice And Ken: A Coronation Street Podcast

In a week of Corrie so eventful that we had to break our podcasting hiatus, we've found ourselves with absolutely nought to say!

Patrick resents the writers for lamp-shading 18 months of Phelan evading justice, Grace's concept of justice turns out to be mainly pushing everyone into a pond, and Ellis is dazzled by a bit of time-lapse photography.

Live from North Point, it's Of Mice and Ken!

We're back! Sort of! Ellis and Grace haven't kept up with the program and Patrick awkwardly fumbles to explain the better part of a month.

Is Phelan really having an affair with Rana behind Zeedan's back? Is Nicola trying to pass her baby off to Toyah and Dev? Is Daniel really back with Billy's brother? All this and more on Of Mice and Ken!

We've gone and done a second round of Mr. and Mrs. [Weatherfield] with Gracie as our Taskmaster.

Beyond that there's a Star Wars and not much else.

But do email in to [email protected] -- It's Of Mice and Ken!

Well, we skived off the podcast last week for the first time in months and we've never been so lonely.

This week we're back with a great round of Mr. and Mrs. [Weatherfield] and two weeks worth of raw human emotion to unpack. Is Daniel controlling the people of Weatherfield with subliminal messages? Will Tim get tongue-tied in the tension of the trial? Is Chesney trying to moralize his missed matriculation into matrimony? All this and more.

It's Of Mice and Ken!

So much happened this week that we can't even talk about it! Luke, Gary, Seb, Phelan, Eileen, the garage, the mill, the knickers...it was all kind of one story, weren't it? Felt more like watching six episodes of a single show than it ever has before.

But besides that cinematic homunculus, we've got no shortage of Billy looking bleary from his Barlow beating, Casa de Carla at number 12, and the mysterious meeting of a secret society in the backrooms of Weatherfield.

All that PLUS we're admonished by 60% of our audience in one week and we compete against David Platt in Gracie's first feature [which she stole from another program]. It's Of Mice and Ken!

It's the last day of 2017 and we've decided to send off the year that was just as we lived it: recording an unprepared hour of uninformed soap opera podcasting!

Loads happened over the Christmas holidays, really too much for you to expect us to remember it all. Billy went for a ride in a helicopter, Robert will hire anyone sat at the bar, Roy's going to study up to remove his own kidney maybe? I dunno. On top of all that the factory's getting a racist makeover and Brian is looking well fit. I think that was it? It's Of Mice and Ken!

It's only Christmas Day today! A special happy holidays from Of Mice and Ken to all our Dev-Otees/Listeners/Supporters/Janes!

It's been a riveting week on the Cobbles in the run up to the holidays! We've got Vicar Vodka in a Barlow Bind, a dodgy lodger lobbing problems at Leanne, Bad Phelan feelin' bad, and a cruel 'Clause cursing kids.

That plus a hungover Ellis confuses Tim Allen and Tim Robbins, Patrick confuses Alya and Rana, and Grace makes some snap judgements on our new friend Carla Connor.

It's Of Mice and Ken!

It’s our first ever end-of-year awards show! Help us celebrate the first of what will surely be a long-standing annual tradition by giving out some “Kennies” in some high-stakes categories including…

-The Of Mice & Ken Award for Best Award Show Name

-The David Platt’s Dead Wife Award for Most Stressful Life Events

And, of course,

-The #HelpFromHelen Story of the Year Award!

That plus a wee bit of reminiscing on what it was like to start a Corrie podcast this year and a stocking stuffed with predictions on the big stories to send off 2017. Have yourself a poisoned lamb cutlet and a flute of champagne with an engagement ring in it, it’s Of Mice and Ken!

This week we’ve got the return of Gary Windass, the more welcomed, less guaranteed return of our own Gracie, Ellis’ best Beatles banana ballad bit that was not to be, and some listener mail from one of our favorites. [Don’t forget to send emails and voice memos to [email protected] !]

Now grab an orange if not a tangerine, put on your Batman costume, and blow up a car! It’s Of Mice and Ken!

It’s another Tea for Two this week with Gracie off on holiday and the lads left to fend for themselves. We’ve honored her absence by awkwardly pausing every few seconds where she might have chipped in and only doing two thirds of the necessary preparation. But the Cobbles, as ever, are alive with action in a week that saw Robert’s Operation, Gemma’s Cinderella Story, and Billy’s Barlow Bereavement Benefit Benediction. Fix yourself a massive dish of olives and a Pat Phelan milkshake: it’s Of Mice and Ken!
