Loose Women, Emmerdale and Coronation Street are getting new podcasts

ITV announces brand new podcasts.

ITVX is to debut two exclusive podcasts inviting audiences to immerse themselves further into the worlds of three of its most iconic cultural institutions - Coronation Street, Emmerdale and Loose Women.

Launching in March across ITVX and YouTube, Loose Women: The Podcast (produced by ITV Studios Daytime) and Off Script…Coronation Street & Emmerdale (produced by Lifted Entertainment, part of ITV Studios) are visualised podcasts and also available as audio on Global Player.

Going live on Tuesday 4th March in celebration of International Women’s Day, Loose Women: The Podcast will see a different dynamic duo from the nation’s favourite Loose Women take to the microphone each episode and get up close and even more personal as they draw on their own experiences to tackle the big issues that matter to us all.

As well as taking a deep dive on the topics close to their hearts, viewers will also be able to directly ask the questions that they've always wanted to know about the show and the women themselves. More in depth and intimate than ever before, Loose Women: The Podcast comes off the back of a celebratory year for Loose Women which saw the BAFTA nominated show reach 25 years in broadcasting and stage its first ever, totally live 25 hour Talkathon. Available as both a podcast on audio platforms and in visual form through ITVX and You Tube, Loose Women: The Podcast will stream twice a week (every Tuesday and Friday).

Off Script meanwhile celebrates Britain’s longest running and best loved soap operas, Coronation Street and Emmerdale, offering the ultimate download on life behind the scenes on the cobbles and in the dales, from the legends who have played some of Britain's best loved characters. Each episode will see interviews with the nation’s favourite soap stars and give exclusive access to both soaps by previewing upcoming scenes from the week ahead. Dropping weekly every Friday from 14th March on ITVX and YouTube, the show will welcome a different soap guest to the sofa each episode to have an in depth discussion about their characters' key storylines and more broadly and candidly about their life in soap.

Additionally to this, Love Island: The Morning After will return later in the year to coincide with the Summer series of Love Island.
