Another interrupted schedule for Corrie has meant more podcast chaos this week, but we're here at least, chatting about the goings on in Weatherfield between the 5th and the 11th February (Episodes #11180 - 11185). Yeah, not exactly a vintage week that one, was it? With the majority of the main players this week coming from the pool of characters that we feel apathetic towards at best, it was going to need to do a lot to hold our attention, and sadly, it really did fall short. You had Steve being his usual pillocky self as he fawns over the guy who, unbeknownst to him, has been having it off with his Mrs; Simon getting smashed before crashing Leanne's car into a bollard; Sarah continuing to pursue her delusional dream of living happily ever after with Damon and Bethany using her well tuned investigative journalism skills to get the dirt on her neighbours for Chit Chat - is anyone going to break it to her that the soap mags already had the scoop on the catfishing story six months ago..? Up next on the podcast, it's The Kabin, where we commiserate Claire Sweeney's exit from Dancing On Ice (It's a fix! etc), and we round things off with more of your listener feedback.

Liz and Michelle are joined by singer, actor, television personality and Eurovision host Claire Sweeney. They chat about Claire's upcoming role in Coronation Street and of course all things Eurovision including revealing what the ‘alternative scouse commentary is all about and why they think this year the UK might win! KEY TAKEAWAYS  There have been some great acts in Eurovision across the years who remain well known today, Cliff Richard, Sandy Shaw and Lulu to name a few! Eurovision being hosted in the UK this year means a lot more of us will probably be watching, and reminiscing, over past years of the programme and what it meant to us. Liverpool is the perfect city to host Eurovision, the birthplace of so many great musical acts and a real music hub. There has been a search to find ‘the voice of Liverpool' to co-host alongside Claire and she couldn't be more excited by who has been chosen, a man named Paul Quinn with an encyclopaedic knowledge of Eurovision! If you want to hear the alternative scouse commentary to Eurovision you just have to press the red button to hear Claire and Paul, you can also tune into Radio Merseyside. Claire is everywhere at the moment because of Eurovision as well as, after manifesting for it for 15 years, a role on Coronation Street! Claire will be playing Tyrone's mum and will be appearing on screens in June. Singing was Claire's first love and this is something she shares with her 8-year-old son Jaxon. The UK hasn't won Eurovision for over 25 years, Liz, Michelle and Claire think this year could well be the year! BEST MOMENTS “It's fun to reminisce…it was such a part of our childhood I think”“It's lovely that the UK has stepped up and it's going to be in Liverpool the home of such incredible music acts”“Will we need an interpreter, will there be captions along the bottom?”“I think we're going to have a lot of ex-Eurovision artists turning up and in the vicinity” “In 1974 the UK didn't give any points to ABBA, isn't that shocking when they won!” If you enjoyed this episode, please rate, and review it on your podcast platform.

Emily and Emma are the co-authors of A Secret Sisterhood: The literary friendships of Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte, George Eliot and Virginia Woolf. They also co-run the fantastic blog about female literary friendship and collaboration, SomethingRhymed.com. Emma is the author of the award-winning novel Owl Song at Dawn, and Emily is a winner of the Lucy Cavendish Fiction Prize, and they both teach at New York University London. We loved talking to them about how to tackle a big project and stay friends, as well as how literary women have always managed ambition and jealousy in their friendships - and how Emma and Emily have dealt with these things. We loved talking to these honest, smart and literary women.   You can find Emily at her website, Instagram or Twitter. You can contact Emma from her website or on Twitter.

This week our hosts will chat with Aerlyn James about which of life's truths can be gleaned from the Broadway classic, Chicago!BOOK TICKETS TO SEE SAVOYARD’S CHICAGOBen Brantley, in his review for The New York Times, wrote "'Make love to the audience' was another Fosse dictum. That's exactly what Ms. Reinking and her ensemble do. Chicago can still seem glibly cynical and artificially cold, especially in its weaker second act. But these performers know just how to take off the chill."- FURTHER READING -Wiki - Musical, Play, Beulah Annan, Belva GaertnerIMDbiTunes - Movie, BroadwaySpotify- CELEBRITY SHOUTOUTS -Bob Fosse, John Kander, Fred Ebb, Maurine Dallas Watkins, Cecil B.

2012 #9: Game For a Laugh - Matthew Kelly and Matthew Osborn. Richard is doing his best to keep up his UN appointed peacekeeping activities in the sunshine and his guest is the versatile, bus pass toting actor and presenter Matthew Kelly, who is only two foot high. There's time to chat about Educating Rita, Excavating Rita, Keith Allen, Sir Ian McKellen, Julia Sawalha, onstage nudity and for once the guest had seen some other shows and has some recommendations. Rich does a Claire Sweeney impression, but it's entirely visual so you won't know how incredibly accurate it was. There's stand-up from Matthew Osborn and the podcast is, as always, sponsored by Go Faster Stripe. Please buy some stuff there to compensate for the amount of money being lost in the ghost town that is the Edinburgh Fringe!
