  • Christmas Special: American Pie
    Dec 27 2024

    As has become Christmas tradition, we're picking a loosely school-based film to chat about. We've gone for American Pie because Luke wants me to have an aneurysm about the shift away from family-friendly content. We go through the classic 1990s comedy and assess the elements that have aged badly, as well as the stuff that's still very, very funny indeed.

    We asked and you've responded in the best way possible. So much so that our farewell to the original series of Waterloo Road will have to stretch across multiple episodes. In this one, we talk about the Kevin and Dynasty relationship as well as pondering plenty of future podcast options and even discussing merch.

  • BREAKING NEWS: Rimmer's Return Confirmed!
    Dec 13 2024

    At this point, we have to assume that the Waterloo Road writing team is packed with listeners to our podcast. The BBC has announced that Jack Rimmer will return to the show in the next series, with Jason Merrells back in the cast. What does this mean for the show? What does this mean for the rumours of Steph Haydock's return? And, most importantly, what does this mean for our fanfic?
