“I gave up Twitter / X & have recently discovered the delights of The Cider Shed podcasts. It’s made me laugh out loud - I look forward to it more than I do The actual Archers now. I really wanted to think of something witty to write but I can’t - so I’ll just say THANK YOU!”

“Where would I be without my Saturday Archers fix courtesy of Matthew and Kerrie? It’s magnificent once again. I urge you all to become Patreons and revel in this podcast early and ad free!”

“If anyone hasn’t already cottoned on to just how funny this podcast is, they should treat themselves to listening to this episode, especially to the rules sequence for The Bull’s mad Egg and Spoon Race.held during the Easter Weekend.
I’ve listened and relistened to the sequence at least a dozen...”Read full review »

“I’m a 51 year old guy that quite frankly does not admit to listening to the Archers outside of close family members.
I stumbled across this podcast and it now makes me finish the week’s episodes so I can listen to it on a Saturday!
Love how they take the proverbial out of the shows characters...”Read full review »

“I thought I was alone in a wasteland of isolated mole-people who tune into The Archers each week. I’m 35 years old and already 5 years in to this strange fandom. I thought I would be walking a lonely road for a long time. Then I found The Cider Shed and, beyond my wildest dreams, they revealed...”Read full review »

“Stumbling upon The Cider Shed Podcast felt like discovering a hidden orchard tucked away in the heart of Ambridge. Hosted by the dynamic duo of Keri and Matthew, as well as sometimes by Peter, this podcast is like sipping a freshly pressed apple cider. Their banter is as crisp as a frosty morning...”Read full review »

“Listening to the cider shed is like being in the pub with your mates chatting, you won’t always agree with their views but it’s lots of laughs. And let’s not forget the “Pat Chat”! Keep up the good work guys, this podcast makes my Saturday. Love you all ❤️. Too much??? Nah!”

“Is it just me or is Ambridge really as weird as it sounds? If you’ve ever asked yourself that question, you need to listen to The Cider Shed Podcast, where the lovely Kerry, Matthew and sometimes Peter will educate, inform, hugely entertain and reassure you that, no, it’s not just you.
The chat...”Read full review »

“I’ve followed The Archers on and off for years but always found it easy and painless to drop out of listening. Then I discovered TCS during the Lark Rise to Candleford era and it has changed my whole outlook. I laughed so much at the ‘hungry wallpaper’ piece that I was in physical pain and had to...”Read full review »

“As a fan of Ambridge on the couch, I didn’t think I needed another archers podcast in my life, but I gave the cider shed a go and discovered that I absolutely did. Clever, funny and often beautifully odd, I thoroughly recommend. Only downside is that i risk loosing all of my Sunday mornings to...”Read full review »

I have been listening to the Archers since day one and I think it has totally gone to pot in the last couple of years. People like my son and daughter need your podcast to keep them in the loop. I know I am old...”Read full review »

“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.

As many others have said, listening to Keri and Matthew (and Peter, of course, when possible!) feels like a good night down the pub with mates, talking (mostly) about the Archers. On top of this, there are incredible...”Read full review »

“One of my favourite podcasts. Hosts are very funny and their observations are sharp, spot on and always witty. What I really like is that alongside Ambridge on the Couch, the hosts are kind to each other and there seems to be a genuine friendship there. Keep up the great work everyone!”

“If there was a law passed that would allow everyone to listen to only one podcast, I would chose the cider shed - as it is ace.
It would have the added advantage that I would not be able to listen to the bloody Archers.”

Not the original but by far the best - so pleased...”Read full review »
