So are we. All About The Archers — a fan podcast companion to BBC Radio 4's The Archers What it is All About The Archers is a weekly fan-led podcast dedicated to The Archers — BBC Radio 4's long-running everyday story of country folk, broadcasting continuously since 1951 and the world's longest-running soap opera. Set in the fictional English village of Ambridge, The Archers follows the lives of farming families and villagers including the Archers of Brookfield Farm, the Grundys, the Aldridges of Home Farm, and the wider community that gathers at the village pub, The Bull. This is a companion podcast made by fans, for fans — not an official BBC production. It assumes familiarity with current storylines but welcomes listeners at any stage of their Archers journey, even beginners. Hosts Philippa, Katie and Quentin — three enthusiastic Archers fans who bring warmth, humour, and genuine investment in Ambridge life. Format Midweek episodes (shorter): covering Sunday–Tuesday episodes to keep listeners up to date. Recap and discussion of the week's Ambridge events.

Huge congratulations to the happy couple. Bert is back from Clive's and he is worse than ever. Philippa has many thoughts, none of them positive. Meanwhile Ian is doing a full Lady Macbeth behind Adam's back, visiting Alice when he thought Adam would be out, and Philippa is genuinely worried about what he might do next. Adam, remarkably, is the voice of reason this week. Tony digs up something in the garden that turns out not to be the time capsule and not to be worth very much either. Chris has a year to wait for his flat. Brian makes Welsh rarebit. And the Borchester Show is almost here. Plus: why Tracey needs to find her inner strength and let Bert go, the mystery of where Bert's money has gone, whether Fallon might prefer life with Chris to life with Harrison, Keira standing up for herself, and some very strong feelings about butterfly farms in a heatwave. Star of the Week, Twit of the Week, highly accurate predictions, and a special clip from Katie and Quentin at the wedding at the end of the YouTube version.
