- Zander - the evil genius we didn’t know we needed.
Will require much much more Zander speaking content PLEASE. Also perhaps he could present and episode with you both? As well as being keen on his views on Adam and Ian, I would love to hear his views on Ian’s lovely best mate Helen and her chilled fun brother Tom?

United Kingdom5 days ago - Shed-loads of laughs
Irreverent, laugh-out loud funny and entertaining. What I love about this podcast is it treads the balance so well between gently poking fun at this most British of radio institutions, whilst never being snarky or mean. Matthew and Keri clearly love The Archers and keep that at the heart of what they do. I listen now with my 17 year old and we both genuinely laugh out loud at the adverts, jokes and witty observations. That cross-generational appeal is no mean feat. BADGER!
Apple Podcasts5ScriptwrenUnited Kingdom9 days ago - My favourite Archers podcast
Have only just listened to this although aware of it for some time. Not sure why it’s taken me so long but this is so funny and the presenters strike exactly the right note. It seems so effortless but is obviously not as I’m sure a lot of hard work goes into it. Most importantly neither presenter pontificates which is more than can be said about other Archers’ podcasts
Apple Podcasts5Bloody love podcastsUnited Kingdom14 days ago - The Cider Shed is the hilarious (and necessary) sanity check for the weary Archers listener
Matthew’s crafty editing of soundbites from The Archers is simply brilliant. These days, the best part (errr, only sane part) of my daily listening to The Archers is guessing which ridiculous storyline Keri will tear apart in her sardonic yet calm tone by Sunday, and which clips the Cider Shed will include in their mock commercials.

Netherlandsa month ago - 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
