Dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee! The Archers is now out as a podcast

Sunday is podcast day for me. I recharge my iPod at the Mayfield home PC with a stock of podcasts for listening to on planes, trains and most of all the annoying bits in between. And today I’ll be delighted to add the first soap to the list, for…

The Archers is going to be podcast by the BBC at last – hurrah. I developed my latest addiction to the rural radio soap when doing my unfeasibly driving commute a while back. Now I can right back to being quietly obsessed by the goings on in Ambridge*.

    I’m signed up. Now if they could just package up Eastenders and Corrie for me too, I’d be a happy bunny. Ooh, and the Shipping Forecast . . . just the most comforting thing to listen to in the world ever.
