  • Want to love it…

    I want to give this five stars, but honestly the constant clipping in of excerpts, phrases and sounds is really, really irritating. The two presenters are brilliant but the constant ‘clips humour’ seems self-indulgent and overdone.

  • Loads of extras

    First podcast where I just had to join Patreon as felt left out when they were last on hols. Have listened to Archers for nearly 20 years now and adore the old episodes and chat so am binging all the extras. Great to hear how so many current characters sound like their family members. Great work Keri & Matthew. Huge thanks for all the hours of listening and the adverts xx

  • The Best Archers Podcast

    Funny and sharp analysis and banter. Feels like you are in a room with Derek and Clive who listened to the weeks Archer’s episodes.

    Matthew is wasted as a teacher and needs to go into comedy radio production with his inventive ads. Love the enthusiasm and affection of both.

  • Absolutely Essential Listening

    I’ve listened to several Archers podcasts and this is, without a doubt, the best found! The presenters are great, give lots of info about each episode but are funny and irreverent without being offensive or overly patronising. Just love it!!
