  • Funny, smart and irreverent

    An essential podcast for everyone who is hopelessly caught up in all the plots and subplots, all the great dramas and silly trifles that make Ambridge the fascinating and infuriating place we love. Matthew and Keri are witty and hilarious.

  • I knew one day it would be worth it…

    After 45 years of muttering to myself, rolling my eyes at nobody, and occasionally actually shouting at the radio/laptop/phone without hope of ever getting a sensible response, I’ve finally found my tribe. Thank you.

  • Deliciously sassy, saucy & savage

    The Archers fans need this pod!

    Keri and Matthew deliver a brilliantly anarchic take on the everyday drama of Ambridge, exposing the absurdity with wit, precision, and feck all interest in preserving the illusion. Deconstructing the plot twists and dubious acting with a full measure of sanctimonious irreverence they deserve. Matthew and Keri also run a fun an welcoming fan community too and are just lovely people. Cheers guys!

  • A year of laughs and resonances

    I have waited over a year to write a review.... So I now confidently guarantee that every episode will have you chuckling, nodding and exclaiming in agreement. Keri and Matthew elucidate precisely what I'm thinking as they unpick the week's episodes of our annoyingly addictive favourite soap. They sprinkle in nuggets of past knowledge and endearing, often hilarious, personal observations. The Cider Shed makes my week and wonderful value for my fiver a month!
