United Kingdom19 days ago - Pricking the Ambridge Pomposity
The Cider Shed: the antidote to the official TA podcast. Sacrilegious, sarcastic irreverent, heretical and sometimes hysterically funny. It’s got to the point for me that I listen to The Archers simply so I can perceive what Matthew and Keri are talking about. The Cider Shed is the tail that wags the (sheep slaughtering feral) The Archers dog.
Apple Podcasts5Gerard CallaghanUnited Kingdom22 days ago Great podcast for some irreverant giggles that don't detract from the love of dear old The Archers Podcast. Great presenters that keep it light while gently poking tickle sticks at characters and writers. Much fun.
Podcast Addict5a month agoJoules2024- Laugh out loud podcast about The Archers
I often draw undue attention to myself when listening to this in public as I can’t help periodically snorting with laughter! Matthew and Keri are funny and clever and love the Archers enough to make excellent fun of it. The bespoke “ads” are hilarious and I also love how they cut real and imagined clips together, this often leads to those undignified public snorts. Give The Cider Shed a go, you won’t regret it!
Apple Podcasts5NollaigGrUnited Kingdoma month ago - Archers and Tonic
The Cider Shed is a very witty show which says what most of us are thinking. Kerry and Matthew know a lot and also happily admit if they don’t know which is refreshing. It’s funny and even though I only found them a year ago I now can’t imagine listening to the archers without them. Especially as I live in California so do not have any archers fan friends. The more I listen the funnier I find it.
