- I laughed so much, the tears ran down my leg! Well that’s menopause for you.
This podcast makes me feel like I’m in a pub, surreptitiously eavesdropping on a conversation that is roughly 40% brilliant and 60% absolute nonsense (except I’m actually at work with EarPods in, snorting out loud like some sort of loon). We all need more nonsense in our lives.
Kerri and Matthew’s interjections and banter are effortless and perfectly aimed, and the whole thing flows brilliantly. It deserves more than five stars, but I won't say that too loud as I don’t want it going to their ... more

United Kingdoma month ago - Irreverent
Punchy funny and very scathing of the characters. I love listening to this one. There is a good vibe between the three presenters and they come across well. Now my favourite archers podcast! Decided to update this original review as I love this even more now with all the clips, ads and additional content. I will pull my finger out and become a partition.
Apple Podcasts5The Zulu WarriorUnited Kingdoma month ago - Making sense of the Archers so you don’t have to
The Cider Shed is quite simply the best thing ever to happen to The Archers. Matthew and Keri pull off the near-impossible trick of being gloriously irreverent while also clearly loving Ambridge with every fibre of their beings. Razor sharp and stupidly hilarious (Matthew’s ads in particular are genius) but still deeply affectionate towards the storylines and characters they mercilessly mock. A five star treat for all. Oh and thank you to Keri for “badgering” me into finally writing a review
Apple Podcasts5Lawless by nameUnited Kingdoma month ago - Absolute gold
I am so happy I found this. As a Brit in Ukraine and after a night and morning as we just had…these 2 are a massive slice of joy and have increased my enjoyment of The Archers ten fold. Like a hug and a laugh from home
Apple Podcasts5drunkandbustyUnited Kingdoma month ago - Love this podcast
I first discovered the Cider Shed on Twitter and after some time of following the tweets and loving them I thought I should actually listen to the podcast! So glad I did as Keri and Matthew (and Peter back when I started listening) are wonderful.
So good to find people with similar feelings about The Archers.
Definitely worth becoming a Patreon if you can as there is so much more fabulousness that you can listen to.
