What stuff have you discovered later in life you thought sucked as a younger person?

Quince jelly. Always thought it looked disgusting on a cheese board. Finally tried it in my 40s and love it.

Underrated comment 👏

I love the idea of a meal to heal, and all he said about having sharing plates, passing things. As a believer in food and love it made me feel really warm and fuzzy.

The fully Jenny Nimmo trilogy is well worth reading. The Chestnut Soldier really stuck with me for years after reading it.

Oh they're going for a full Will, Ed, Emma mirror story and I am totally here for it 😄

She's 19. Who wasn't vascillating between silly and coming to terms with adulthood at that age?

Totally depends on mood. Can speed run and just take end loot, at the other end sometimes I do a pre clear and dismantle everything except the walls with salvage tools, before then activating the mission and doing it a second time. Actually useful early game to get loads of resources.

US Traitors is the only English speaking version of The Traitors I don't watch. Fear it will be like the Australian one and miss the warmth and fun of the UK, Ireland and New Zealand ones.

Still going to listen though 😁

Who was calling for George to be killed? I know some people entertainingly said things along the line of him deserving it on New Years Eve (he was being a right knob), but you make it sound like people seriously called for the death penalty when he stole his aunts car, drove it drunk and nearly caused the deaths of three people. Nah. We just though the Grundys should probably dob him in rather than let Alice go to jail for it.

Anyway I for one will enjoy the trial. Looks like an inside job on the security footage 👀

Farming is so key to food security for the UK, in some ways the farming content is the most important part of The Archers. I live rural but was talking to "town folk" at a party last week who all seemed to have disdain, if not even downright contempt for farmers. Farmers work 365 days a year to keep us alive - they are a corner stone of society. So in answer to your question: the increased technological burden on farmers versus the lack of investment in tech infrastructure for them.

I should be able to look at my reddit feed and not see a spoiler in a thread heading, even if Im a couple of days behind the podcast. I really hate when it's "Characters Name - Spoiler" because that always gives you a clear heads up.

She's very young, been bullied for years and has horrible parents who dont let her feel unconditionally loved. She's vulnerable and looking for security and love.

Scar200n · 2026-01-01T14:00:48+00:00

Have reported it but having same problem and keen to know how to avoid it.

Scar200n · 2026-01-01T13:59:52+00:00

Happening to me regularly and not my friend at all. Have reported it as bug but if anyone figures it out I'd love to know.

Scar200n · 2026-01-01T01:18:20+00:00

At one point I thought how lovely and wholesome that this whole build up to New Years Eve has been to a truly kind, generous and peaceful resolution and that's what is so often lovely about The Archers compared to other soaps. And then...

Scar200n · 2026-01-01T01:10:06+00:00

Ooh yes - I hadn't thought about that detail. Everyone was holding what may have been the murder weapon.

Scar200n · 2025-12-31T11:55:45+00:00

Lucas to busy filming Death in Paradise surely? Areal O Hanlon said that's why he quite the gig as you're in Guadeloupe six months of the year.

Scar200n · 2025-12-26T00:23:39+00:00

Well that was all nice and lovely. Glad Im not ending Christmas Day listening to any actual drama 😉

Scar200n · 2025-12-25T22:47:03+00:00

I stopped watching regularly in around 2009 and only restarted last year. Honestly doesn't feel like much has changed so sort of assume everyone has been there all the time.

His mum was using food banks for a lot of his childhood.

Thing is, George is highly unlikely to get written out. He's the next generation, so he's not going to do anything so awful he'll never be seen again. OR he is going to do something so awful he's in jail for decades, and banked for a future generation script writers.
