What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

The Archers is a radio program that has been going on for decades. My grandparents listened to it religiously everyday on the radio and I continue to do so just via the podcast format. Some storylines are better than others but it is a wonderful tradition to hold onto and is a constant way that I connect with my family members that are both alive and have passed.

I started listening to this podcast when it first aired on Apple Podcasts. Took me listening to it for a couple weeks to figure out the connection between all of the characters. It’s so wonderfully written and I love the full cast of talented voice actors. The soundscapes are absolutely fantastic. It really makes you feel like you’re standing in the room as the story unfolds. I am truly invested in this story and all the players involved. Plus, it’s a daily episode drop, so there’s that <3

Can tell you how much I love this podcast. You can’t get more wholesome than this. The writers do such a good job at keeping all of the scenarios, realistic, and relatable. They aren’t ridiculously sensationalized. They pink such a lovely picture and I really appreciate it.

Brenda H. In Carlsbad CA · Mar 2024

I’ve been married to a fifth generation small scale dairy farmer for 42 years and I can say with certainty that the ag consultants on this show know what they’re talking about. It is, by far, the most authentic and real depiction of farming I have ever encountered, apart from, maybe, the original TV series of All Creatures Great and Small, from the 70s. I’m consistently blown away by everything from the attention to detail, the realistic situations, the veterinary issues, and the financial struggles. Lately, their depiction of land access is of huge relevance! Even though I’m in the US, and the political landscape is different, the struggles of farmers dealing with a messed up food and ag system is universal. This whole program gets it astoundingly right.
