This podcast is extremely enjoyable to listen to. If you like the archers, it’s better, but that certainly does not seem to be a prerequisite.

Imagine dropping into your favorite bar, and overhearing three people, who are all a little different, get together to discuss a radio show. You would hear far more than some bland review, and here you do.

The show is definitely discussed, but in a slightly ‘grumpy old people way’. Constantly complaining about any banality or boring storylines, but with a genuine affection for a show that is, in fact, a rural, middle class, English drama about farming.

Always funny, sometimes insightful and nicely blending of the omnipresent online chatter about the show (in which the presenters are very active) and the show itself.

Personally I love the Archers, with all its banality, but this show makes it better.

Funny and engaging way to enjoy a radio show about farming!
