The Archers Omnibus

I am a new listener to “The Archers” and I always enjoy listening to “The Archers” and “The Archers Omnibus”. Fantastic cast and characters! Cannae wait to listen to more episodes in the future. Slainte Mhath!

Fifteen years of The Archers, but our days together are numbered. The characters, storylines, and scenes have become woke and embarrassing. The escape to greener pastures is no more. Perhaps one day the BBC, writers, and producers will WAKE up to what they've done.... Bye, bye Home Farm, et al....

I grew up listening on and off for many years back in the UK, now older and with my own family in the USA I am able to share what was a daily ritual on tuning in the radio into a start the podcast on demand, especially on the longer road trips.

I started listening to The Archers during a year in England. I liked it and kept up with it through podcasts when I returned. Little by little the writers made clear that the show would ‘challenge’ its traditional listeners and make the show more edgy. I hung on, despite the charm being worn away. Once they decided to have a character abort her child after being fairly far along simply because she ‘didn’t want it’, I asked myself ‘what are you doing?’ The show’s writers hate people like me. I need to move on and leave Ambridge to their not so tender mercies.
