    Hungary welcomes Adam, as if it hasn’t got enough to deal with; George’s drone has started vibrating; and Natasha’s leather trousers bring in the business.

Warm, funny, talented Lucy, Harriet (and Jeff) discuss The Archers with humour and a lot of fondness for the longest-running Radio 4 soap. Listening to this podcast feels like spending time with old friends.

The best Archers fan-pod by far

As an obsessive The Archers fan I consume everything I can - Reddit and Facebook discussions, other podcasts etc. But Lucy and Harriet's podcast is like nothing else. It's warm, funny, sometimes off topic and technically slap dash, but always charming and engaging. It is my end of the week treat and I listen in bed with my headphones on on Sunday nights, trying to stifle my laughter so as not to wake my husband. It really is like nothing else, principally because Lucy and Harriet are so relaxed and natural. The highlights are Lucy's weekly synopsis of the show and Harriet's character impressions. I love it.

My Sunday night, end of week, treat. Absolutely wonderful.

This Podcast is funny and relaxed. Perfect for Sunday afternoon after The Archers omnibus. Look forward to it every week. Can't recommend it enough for Archers fans

I would recommend this podcast to anyone who is in Archers fan. It’s a good laugh and a good listen. I would rate this highly because I think it’s a change from all the usual types of podcast in that there are no frills. What you see is what you get. I could be sitting round the kitchen table, discussing the archers with a friend. Keep up the good work guys.

Great fun for Archers fans

They seem to broadcast without having listened properly to the episodes and don't demonstrate much knowledge about the history of the characters - which would be fine if they weren't so judgemental.

Jolene's not American, by the way. She's famously just a Country & Western enthusiast. And local.

Witty in places but really irritating
