  • Could not stop grinning on the dog walk…..

    I am a returning listener to the Archers and so I was popping back to the usual accompanying podcasts. I was so ridiculously happy to hear you Lucy and your round up having missed you so much. I used to listen to a previous podcast you supported on and it’s just wonderful to have found you again. I am going to catch up on the last 12 months of archers by listening to your back catalogue. The local sheep and cows will wonder why I am giggling walking past from now on.

  • Just a joy

    I look forward to this highly entertaining podcast dropping into my podcast library every Sunday midday- whether walking my dog, cooking lunch or heading off somewhere. Thank you. P.s. loving the Lucy/Geoff chemistry

  • Simply the best!

    Thank you all for the last year in Ambridge. This is always such a fun listen and, Harriet, you will be missed although I hear today that you’ll still be doing all the voices for the sketches. If they ever need to replace a character in The Archers, you should definitely be their go-to girl. Geoff is certainly a good exchange though and Lucy and he will always keep us laughing (whatever happens to Georgie and whoever!!) Keep up the good work in 2026.
