Concept and history edit

The Cinemile is a two-person podcast. Launched in 2016,[1] it consists of conversations between a married couple from Cork, Dave Corkery and Cathy Cullen, on their walk home from the movies.[2] To celebrate the 100th episode of the show, Cullen and Corkery vacationed in Spain and reviewed The Shape of Water.[3] Launched when the hosts lived in London, the podcast is, as of 2022, made in Cork, Ireland.[4]

The Cinemile has won a British Podcast Award[9] and an Irish Podcast Award.[10]
