  • Summary

  • Welcome back to THE DISCOURSE, a podcast about film, entertainment & culture. In this episode, Carl and Tony discuss soaps via the lens of Coronation Street - where did they come from? When were they at their best? And have they lost the plot? Plus! Carl loves his YouGov polls and this one asks what previous decade we were happiest in. They discuss the nostalgic era they would choose, and whether the present day has more to like than we think. And finally, are we living in awful times thanks to doom scrolling and an array of terrible events? One writer thinks so, and we debate whether he might be onto something... -- Remember: subscribe to THE DISCOURSE+ for early access, ad-free listening and bonus episodes not available to regular listeners.
