  • Irreverent and properly funny!

    I love this podcast! Lucy & Jeffrey do a great job - they celebrate the good bits, call out the nonsense (which there is more and more of these days - The Archers used to be the gold standard of continuity… not any more!) and generally discuss this beloved long running soap in a proper, normal way. They are funny & warm. Frankly they are what keeps me listening to the Archers - so that I can listen to them at the end of the week and see if they are as irritated/annoyed/incredulous as I am!

    I really love this show, it’s a great look at the archers without taking the whole thing too seriously, ignore the misery reviews - they’re clearly bots - this show is a great listen.

    Updated 2026 to say it’s not same without Harriet and can’t get through a whole episode now. Downgraded my rating.

    This is such a gem of a show for fans. I look forward to my Sunday morning giggle and insight fix..... It really is like catching up with mates who share my Archers appreciation! Thank you. Top work.

  • Rubbish

    What an awful podcast, as a long time Archers fan I was intrigued. However this total car crash of unprofessional twaddle is unbearably awful . So anyone can just chat a lot of nonsense & post it up under the guise of a podcast… jokers!
