Jezz A Belle ,

Come for the Archers, stay for the Dross

And by Dross I mean all the crap football chat, terrible punnery, “offensive” jingles, and silent Swindon characters.

If you think THIS show is a mess, you should see the Patreon.

Five stars.
💖⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💖

Pbredlaujr ,

Three more cheers for this Archers based podcast.

I wrote a review when this podcast started but it is time to update because it continues to be amazing. The presenters make wry observations and predictions about all the goings on in Ambridge. And yet, while they can be merciless when discussing Archers’ ridiculousness, they are warm and generous to Archers’ listeners.

So listen, enjoy, and give them 5 stars (and then support them via Patreon)!

Weekly shot of joy…and George and Adam et al

The Cider Shed was the weekly shot of joy I didn’t know I needed. I’m Californian born and raised and no one in my world speaks Archers. The Cider Shed makes me feel as though I am sitting with Keri and Matthew and putting the (fictional) world to rights. Keri and Matthew provide more fun than the Archers deserves; there are few shows that make me me laugh out loud the way I do with The Cider Shed. And I say this as someone who likes Pat and Adam. Thank you, Keri and Matthew for giving your audience this gift of a pod.
