Emily and Vic 28 Episodes Aug 17, 2026

Why Won't You Watch: Corrie is a weekly podcast in which Emily, a newfound Coronation Street fan, shares her enthusiasm for the soap with Vic, who has yet to watch it. Emily got hooked after the Corrie/Emmerdale crossover and is now invested in the characters and storylines from Weatherfield. She tries to catch up on over 60 years of backstory while attempting to convince the stubbornly unconvinced Vic. Listeners can follow the show on TikTok and Instagram @whywontyouwatch or email whywontyouwatch@gmail.com.
