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.

To mark Lauren’s final regular episode, we choose our Ambridge contestants, send them racing from New York to New Delhi and back to Ambridge, and decide who would make it to the finish line. Expect: Tracy and Brad as serious contenders Chelsea proving she could win people over anywhere Justin and Lillian in matching tracksuits Helen and Tom falling apart almost immediately Kate chasing spiritual enlightenment George getting into trouble abroad Leonard, Ben, Jakob, Natasha, Susan and more thrown into the race We also ask who we’d personally choose as our Archers travel partner, with answers ranging from the practical to the unpredictable. A huge thank you to Lauren for all the laughs, chaos and brilliant Archers chat. She will be very much missed, but we hope to tempt her back for future specials. This episode contains Archers chat, mild chaos and a lot of questionable travel planning. Hosted on Acast.
