If Only I'd Discovered It Before...
I subscribed to the podcast as a bit of a laugh, to be honest. I was bored and running out of things to listen to. Hearing The Archers and Woman’s Hour on the radio while my mum did her chores was an integral part of my childhood, but I never really paid it much attention. I was surprised at how quickly I got involved with the characters and after a few episodes had worked out the main characters just by the sound of their voice - which is quite an impressive feat when the episodes are so short. I have no personal experience of living in a farming community at all (although I spent my childhood in two very different small villages) but that’s no barrier - it’s far more about the interpersonal relationships in the community. It’s an incredibly well-written soap (well it would have to be to survive that many decades, don’t you think?!) and the plotlines are thought-provoking but not without humour. It’s quickly become the first podcast I have to listen to in the day. If I’d had to concentrate on remembering to switch the radio on at the right time, I’d never have got as addicted as I have, so well done to the BBC for making it much more easily accessible. I wonder how people will be listening to The Archers in fifty years time?
