I love your show, which I only found a few weeks ago. It really makes me laugh- especially Brian and Adam! keep it up!
Hi Keri and Matthew, you may remember me as the weirdo Archers superfan who sent you a nude pic of Leonard a while ago?! Well, big cow pats of apology, it's taken me waaaaayy too long to follow that up with a rave review! I spend my Sunday catching up with The Cider Shed and I absolutely love it. The only way to go with the nonsense that is The Archers is to find like-minded people who know what we listeners go through! Your hard work is always appreciated and your humourous analysis of Ambridge... more
Keri, Matthew and back in the day Peter always provide a view of Ambridge that other pods fail to do. I listen to a couple of the other podcasts but this one is sharp, acerbic and they regularly manage to destroy the characters I too hate…… in a loving supportive way of course. Do yourself a favour and listen in
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Cider Shed is an absolute joy for any fan of The Archers. Warm, witty, sharp and wonderfully observant, it feels like sitting down with friends who understand exactly why Ambridge matters so much.
The hosts strike the perfect balance between affectionate humour, thoughtful analysis and delightfully irreverent commentary. They notice the details, ask the questions we are all thinking and make even the most frustrating storylines entertaining.
Funny, intelligent and full of genuine lo... more
This podcast is the best thing about The Archers. My sister and I spend more time discussing the hilarious contributions to The Cider Shed than we do discussing The Archers. It’s such a great combination of complaining about a wide selection of the characters with a warm affection for the programme. Thanks so much for all the hard work!
