This week's Talkhouse episode is particularly exciting for me, since my two guests are also two of my favorite songwriters and singers ever—and they happen to be big fans of each other. It's Matt Berninger and Eric Bachmann. Eric Bachmann was a massive part of the ‘90s indie-rock explosion as the snarling voice behind Archers of Loaf, a band that released four incredible albums in its relatively short run. But Bachmann ditched most of that genre's signifiers afterward and has spent the last quarter-century writing and recording incredible songs both under the name Crooked Fingers and under his own. His records are more in line with Tom Waits or Townes van Zandt than Pavement, and his deep catalog is worth a deep dive. You could start pretty much anywhere, so it might as well be with the brand new Crooked Fingers album Swet Deth. It's the first time Bachmann has dusted off the Crooked Fingers name in more than a decade, I'm assuming because it sounds like a more fleshed-out affair. He also invited some friends to provide backing vocals on a few tracks, including Superchunk's Mac McCaughan, Sharon Van Etten, and today's other guest, Matt Berninger of the National. Check out the Crooked Fingers song “From All Ways,” which features Berninger's distinctive voice. Fun fact: When the first two Crooked Fingers albums were reissued about 10 years ago, Bachmann asked two of his biggest fans to write the liner notes. One, I'm proud to say, was me, and the other was Matt Berninger, the intense baritone frontman of the National. As you'll hear in this chat, Matt has been a fan of Eric's since back in the Archers days. Berninger of course has had an incredible career in roughly that same timeframe, leading the National from small clubs to huge venues with a thoroughly unimpeachable catalog of smart, dark songs. (These two have those adjectives very much in common.) In addition to fronting the National, Berninger has stepped away on occasion for side projects and solo records. His latest release under his own name is Get Sunk, which came out last year. He's about to launch a Canadian tour followed by some dates in Europe—catch him if you can, the solo shows are a different vibe than the National, but no less worth your time. This wide-ranging conversation starts with a discussion of Bachmann's recent heart attack—a scary situation that's going to keep him off the road for a bit. They also talk about working together on “From All Ways” and a semi-secretive new thing that they've been hatching for the past couple of years. It's a great, deep chat between two guys who obviously admire each other's music a lot. If you're not familiar with both, I strongly suggest a deep dive. Enjoy the episode.

After Roman London was hit by a catastrophic fire in about 125 AD, perhaps the result of another local revolt, it entered a new period of sophistication which saw the emergence of elaborate townhouses for its mercantile and administrative elite, richly embellished with mosaics and wall paintings. But the city had stopped growing, and when a devastating plague arrived in about 165 AD, which may well have been Europe's first encounter with smallpox, it was probably already on a long slow decline caused by its diminishing importance as a trading hub. To continue Roman London's story to its eventual fate as an abandoned walled garden, Rosemary Hill is joined again by Dominic Perring, author of 'London in the Roman World', to consider what objects such as a Greek spell found on the Thames foreshore, and a small bronze archer found in Cheapside, can tell us about the fortunes of the city, and why the construction of the London Wall in the early 3rd century marked a terminal transformation of its role in the Roman Empire.

Chelsea's getting more hopeful about her business plans, and David is reluctantly learning how to recruit volunteers.

Samuel asks about Athenian archers at the start of the Peloponnesian War. Thucydides lists significant numbers of them in 431 and it raises a series of questions. How were these archers equipped Were they citizens, metics or the famous Scythian archers Did they serve aboard triremes or mainly in garrisons Were they poorer citizens unable to afford hoplite equipment, or were they specialists and mercenaries. Murray looks at what we know from the sources and archaeology about Athenian archers.   Join us on Patreon patreon.com/ancientwarfarepodcast  

Nick Warburton's comedy drama returns. It takes us to the Fens and the Platters' boatyard nestled on the river.The Platter community is an eccentric one and at its heart is the chaotic pairing of Pat and his sister Libby.

Possibly but there are hidden Platter secrets still waiting to be uncovered.Libby ..... Monica Dolan Pat ..... Oliver Chris Ravi ..... Waleed Akhtar Greg ..... Django BevanDirected by Tracey NealeThis second story, narrated by Pat, kicks off with a crisis: Martine, the boatyard Manager (who had a fear of water) has walked out.

Abu Sufyaan Ibn Harb رضي الله عنه (S15) Out of the 50 archers رضي الله عنهم, around 7-9 remained firm. Khalid Ibn al-Waleed رضي الله عنه took this opportunity to attack. ~200 horses charged towards the archers رضي الله عنهم. Amr Ibn Qameeya struck the Messenger ﷺ and he ﷺ fell into a ditch. Musab Ibn Umayr رضي الله عنه jumped to defend the Messenger ﷺ and he رضي الله عنه was martyred. Utbah Ibn Abi Waqaas threw a rock at the Messenger's ﷺ face, breaking his blessed lower teeth.

This week on All About The Archers, Philippa and Quentin dig into a tense and chaotic few days in Ambridge, covering Sunday 8th, Monday 9th and Tuesday 10th February.With George suddenly rushing off at the end of Tuesday's episode, the big question is whether he's finally remembered something crucial about the night of the attack — and if so, what that means for Amber, whose behaviour is raising more than a few eyebrows.There's also plenty of outrage over the Brookfield inheritance plans, growing concern for Josh's future, and disbelief at David and Ruth's approach to both family communication and tax planning. Add in Valentine's Day nonsense, spiky exchanges across the village, a questionable horsebox hair salon idea, and a surprisingly tender moment from Brian Aldridge, and it's another packed week in The Archers.In this episode, we discuss:George's sudden dash and whether his memory is returningThe growing suspicion around Amber and her increasingly desperate behaviourPredictions about whether we'll finally learn who attacked George this weekNeil and Susan's ongoing attitude to George and AmberThe Brookfield inheritance decision and why it's left us furiousInheritance tax blind spots and the risks being taken with the family farmJosh's anger, disappointment and Brian Aldridge's unexpected pep talkThe future of Pip and Stella at BrookfieldValentine's Day chaos at the BullFallon's cutting put-down of AmberThe horsebox hair salon plan and whether it makes any senseStar and Twit of the WeekListener theories and predictionsAlso mentioned:A bonus audio-only Q&A episode with Holly Chapman (Alice Carter), featuring questions from the All About The Archers Facebook group, coming this Saturday.If you enjoy the podcast, there are lots of ways to stay involved and support the show:Watch, follow & support All About The Archers▶️ Watch on YouTube: All About The Archers☕ Support the podcast: Buy us a coffee

In this episode we revisit three Technicolor melodramas made by British cinema's great auteur duo Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, bursting with vibrant emotions and sensuality that exercise a dangerous allure over their protagonists: Clive Candy, the upper-class colonialist twerp played by Roger Livesey in The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (1943) who discovers the poetry in his soul thanks to the influence of three in-Kerr-nations of Deborah Kerr and the friendship of Anton Walbrook; Sister Clodagh (Kerr again) in Black Narcissus (1947), futilely pitting the Protestant work ethic against the infinite; and Victoria Page (Moira Shearer) in The Red Shoes (1948), torn between the demands of art and mere humanity. And in Fear and Moviegoing in Toronto, more Naruse: Flowing (1956), a study of a declining geisha house through the perspective of Kinuyo Tanaka's kindly but powerless servant, and The Stranger Within a Woman (1966), a film noir about being consumed by guilt while the world just wants you to move on.  Time Codes: 0h 00m 25s:    Brief Intro - Powell and Pressburger 0h 07m 11s:    THE LIFE AND DEATH OF COLONEL BLIMP (1943) [dir.

Welcome to the sixth series in the annual podcast programme from Academic Archers, bringing you papers from our 2025 conference.This episode takes us behind the scenes of The Archers, exploring how the programme is made and the people who keep Ambridge on air week after week.LoxFest Meets the Pyramid Stage Headliners – Making The Archers at the BBCCo-ordinating The Archers Julie SadlerIn this paper, Julie Sadler, a member of The Archers production team at the BBC, offers an insider's view of the role of Production Coordinator. Described as the most varied and enjoyable job in the small team that produces the programme, the role involves coordinating cast availability, scheduling studio time, and ensuring episodes come together seamlessly.Julie likens the work to solving an Archers-themed logic puzzle every day: a constantly shifting set of challenges that must be resolved to keep the drama running 52 weeks a year. For a devoted listener, it is both demanding and deeply rewarding, offering a unique perspective on how Ambridge is brought to life.About the speaker Julie Sadler is a Production Coordinator on The Archers at the BBC.

In this week's All About The Archers recap, Philippa and Lauren dive into a packed set of episodes from Ambridge, covering Sunday 18th, Monday 19th and Tuesday 20th January.We discuss the shock news that Amber is pregnant, what this means for Brad and George, and whether this latest unplanned pregnancy really is the right path for her.

In this special episode of All About The Archers, we're joined by the brilliant Emerald O'Hanrahan, who plays Emma Grundy, to unpack one of the most intense and emotionally complex storylines The Archers has delivered in years.Emerald talks candidly about Emma's parenting, her blindness when it comes to George, and the painful moment when she finally realises the damage that's been done. We explore the fallout from George's injury, Keira running away, and why Emma's “wake-up moment” felt so earned — and so devastating.We also dive into:Emma's guilt, shame and fierce loyalty as a motherWhether families ever truly hear uncomfortable truthsThe realism behind George being welcomed back so quicklyEmerald's thoughts on the ambiguous Truth and Lies episodeHow those huge two-hander scenes are prepared and performedWhy Emma is such a divisive — and deeply human — characterWhat Emerald herself has learned from playing EmmaAlong the way there's humour, honesty, and plenty of insight into how The Archers handles long-term storytelling, trauma, and moral grey areas.A must-listen for anyone gripped by the Grundy storyline — and for listeners who love hearing how iconic Archers moments are created.

Welcome to the sixth series in the annual podcast programme from Academic Archers, bringing you papers from our 2025 conference.This episode explores family life in Ambridge through questions of choice, justice, and intergenerational care. Across three papers, speakers examine voluntary childlessness, crime and redemption, and the varied roles grandfathers play in shaping family dynamics.Please note: this session begins at 2 minutes 40 seconds.Ambridge Family Dynamics2:40 – To Breed or Not to Breed? That Is the Problem Louise GilliesThis paper explores the portrayal of voluntary childlessness in The Archers through the storyline of Harrison and Fallon Burns. It examines how their decision reflects wider debates about reproductive choice, gender roles, and the meaning of family.The paper considers both internal emotional struggles and external societal pressures, particularly the tension between traditional rural expectations and contemporary ideas of autonomy and lifestyle.About the speaker Louise Gillies is a reproductive health counsellor with a background in health communication research. A listener since 1998, she frequently uses Ambridge storylines as case studies in her teaching and has been part of Academic Archers since the first conference.Law and Disorder: I Fought the Law and the Law Won in Ambridge Nicola MaxfieldThis paper explores crime, punishment, and redemption in Ambridge, focusing on George, Freddie, Tom, and Clive. It examines how family background, education, attachment, and social capital shape different outcomes, and how the village responds unevenly to similar crimes.The paper invites reflection on whether some characters are judged more harshly than others, and why.About the speaker Nicola Maxfield is an Academic Skills Advisor at University Centre for Northern Devon. Her work focuses on equity of access to higher education, particularly for neurodivergent students. She lives in Devon and is still attempting to complete a Master's degree.Grandpas Are Wise, Loving and Fun – Or Are They? Katharine Hoskyn and Deborah MillerGrandfathers have featured prominently in recent Archers storylines, particularly in response to George's difficulties. This paper compares the grandfathering styles of Neil Carter, Joe and Eddie Grundy, Tony Archer, Brian Aldridge, and David Archer.Drawing on academic literature, the paper proposes a new framework for understanding grandfathering in Ambridge and reflects on the experience, authority, and care grandfathers bring to family life. The presentation is dedicated to the authors' own grandfathers.About the speakers Katharine Hoskyn is based in rural New Zealand and works with Auckland University of Technology. Her research background spans social science and business, with a focus on community issues. Deborah Miller works in the health sector in the North East of England and has a background in history, politics, and leadership studies. Both have been long-term listeners of The Archers.

Welcome to the sixth series in the annual podcast programme from Academic Archers, bringing you papers from our 2025 conference.This episode explores institutions in Ambridge as sites of power, care, and controversy. Through two papers, speakers examine Underwoods as a space of women's social change and Lower Loxley as a flashpoint for debates about history, race, and responsibility.Institutions, Care, and Contested Histories0:59 – Are You Being Served? The Department Store in the Community Jane JamesThis paper explores the historical role of the department store, using Underwoods as a case study. It considers how stores like Underwoods created new opportunities for women, offering employment, promotion, and unprecedented freedom of movement in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.The paper also questions Underwoods' unusual success in the modern retail landscape and the reluctance of Ambridge residents to work there, asking whether something more curious is going on behind the cosmetics counter.About the speaker Jane James is a retired project manager and active writer. She has been listening to The Archers since the late 1970s, co-hosts an Archers podcast, and has a particular fondness for a good haberdashery department.17:45 – Duties of Care to the Present and the Past: Art, Race, and Reconciliation at Lower Loxley Tim VercellottiThis paper examines the controversy surrounding a portrait at Lower Loxley Hall with possible links to the slave trade. It traces the differing responses of Freddie, Noluthando, Elizabeth, Lily, and others, each reflecting wider UK debates about whether to remove, contextualise, or repurpose contested historical objects.The paper links this storyline to national discussions on statues and memorials, and introduces the idea of the “empty plinth” as an alternative way of acknowledging painful histories while recognising the harm they represent.About the speaker Dr Timothy Vercellotti is Professor of Political Science at Western New England University in Massachusetts and Director of the university's London summer programme. His teaching and research focus on political behaviour, race and politics, and political philosophy, alongside extensive post-doctoral work in all things Ambridge.

Claire Skinner stars in a new drama written to mark the 75th anniversary of The Archers.

Since her big break in Muriel's Wedding 30 years ago, actor Toni Collette has graced our screens in a huge list of standout roles from The Sixth Sense to Hereditary, Little Miss Sunshine to Mickey 17. She joined Kylie Pentelow to discuss her latest film, Goodbye June. The emotional directorial debut from Kate Winslet tackles themes of love, loss and Christmas as a fractious family come together to sit vigil for the family matriarch, played by Helen Mirren.From the very beginning of the NHS in 1948, Irish women were actively recruited to staff British hospitals. By the 1960s, there were around 30,000 Irish-born nurses - making up roughly one in eight of all nurses – yet their contribution has often gone unrecognised. A new book aims to change that. Based on dozens of interviews, it tells the story of Irish nurses in their own words. We hear from co-author of Irish Nurses in the NHS: An Oral History, Professor Louise Ryan, who spent years researching Irish migration and from Ethel Corduff, who came to England to train as a nurse, a career she spent 40 years in.Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport, or RED-S as it's known, was once framed as a concern only for elite athletes. But as running culture intensifies alongside weight-loss jabs and healthy eating trends, RED-S has become more widespread. It's often hard to spot, but the long-term consequences can be devastating, impacting immune function, growth and fertility. Sports dietitian Renee McGregor and Jodie Pearlman, who experienced the condition first hand, joined Kylie to talk about the condition.Why can adults seem to regress to childhood or teenage behaviours at Christmas? We discuss family dynamics and the kinds of behaviour that can re-surface with everyone under the same roof again. Guardian columnist Elle Hunt shares her own experience alongside Woman's Hour listeners, and psychotherapist Julia Samuel offers advice.It's 75 years since The Archers first launched. Woman's Hour broadcast from Ambridge to celebrate the female characters who have helped this programme tackle some of the most challenging, contentious and sensitive issues affecting women.

In this episode, we explore the 1981 television pilot K-9 and Company, a unique and historic entry in the Doctor Who universe. Produced as a proposed Doctor Who spin-off, K-9 and Company stars the legendary Elisabeth Sladen as investigative journalist Sarah Jane Smith alongside the robotic dog K9, voiced by John Leeson. While both were iconic former companions of the Fourth Doctor in Doctor Who, they had never appeared together on screen until the K-9 and Company pilot episode, titled A Girl's Best Friend. Broadcast on BBC1 as a Doctor Who related Christmas special on 28 December 1981, K-9 and Company remains a vital piece of the Doctor Who franchise history despite not being commissioned for a full series. The existence of K-9 and Company was largely due to Doctor Who producer John Nathan-Turner, who wanted to bring Elisabeth Sladen back to the Doctor Who family. His initial 1980 plan for the actress would have seen Sarah Jane Smith travel in the TARDIS during the Doctor Who transition from Tom Baker to Peter Davison. However, Sladen wanted a role that evolved beyond her previous Doctor Who narrative. Simultaneously, the Doctor Who production team was struggling with the logistics of K9. While K9 was a massive hit with Doctor Who viewers, the prop was technically awkward and made the Doctor Who heroes too capable. The solution was K-9 and Company, a child-orientated Doctor Who spin-off where Sarah Jane Smith would be the central heroic lead. Before K-9 and Company, Elisabeth Clara Heath Sladen built a career in theatre and television, appearing in Z-Cars and Doomwatch. Her work on Z-Cars led directly to her casting in Doctor Who. Interestingly, the Doctor Who role of the new companion for The Time Warrior was originally cast with April Walker. However, Doctor Who lead Jon Pertwee felt the chemistry was wrong, leading to Sladen being cast as the definitive Sarah Jane Smith. She played the role in Doctor Who from 1973 to 1976, eventually returning for the K-9 and Company pilot. Her Doctor Who legacy continued in 2006 with David Tennant and the successful Doctor Who spin-off The Sarah Jane Adventures. Following her death in 2011, Doctor Who aired a tribute during The Impossible Astronaut, proving her status as a Doctor Who icon. The voice behind the metal dog in K-9 and Company, John Leeson, first voiced K9 in the 1977 Doctor Who serial The Invisible Enemy. While Tom Baker had a difficult relationship with the K9 prop, he worked well with Leeson. Leeson briefly left Doctor Who to avoid being typecast but returned for K-9 and Company and later the Doctor Who anniversary special The Five Doctors. The K-9 and Company pilot also featured Colin Jeavons, known for his work in The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy and the Doctor Who serial The Underwater Menace, and Mary Wimbush, a stalwart of The Archers. Written by Terence Dudley, a writer and director for Doctor Who stories like Meglos, the K-9 and Company pilot stands as a fascinating "what if" in the wider Doctor Who mythology.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/general-witchfinders.
