Welcome to the fifth series in the annual podcast programme from Academic Archers, bringing you papers from our 2024 conference.This episode examines the many ways animals shape life in Ambridge and what their stories reveal about both farming practice and human relationships.“It's a ferret ferris wheel!”: Depictions of Human–Animal Interactions and Animal Welfare in The Archers - Tamzin Furtado and Tamsin DurstonAnimals are central to Ambridge life, whether as livestock, wildlife or family pets. This paper explores how The Archers uses animals to convey messages about farming practice, ethics, personality and community.Examples range from Mia's veganism and the disruption of the Ambridge Hunt, to Lilian's unruly Ruby, Peggy's demanding Hilda Ogden, Pip's herbal lays, Freddie's abattoir stint and the Rewilding project. The paper also considers how real-world issues such as the 2021 pig slaughter crisis and equine obesity are reflected in the programme, alongside the grief of losing beloved animals like Stella's dog Weaver or Bartleby the horse.Through these depictions, the paper invites listeners to recognise the role of nonhuman animal actors in shaping the village's stories and our understanding of Ambridge residents.About the speakersDr Tamzin Furtado and Tamsin Durston - The Tams of The Am - both work in animal welfare science with a focus on the intersection of human and animal wellbeing and are equally devoted to life in Ambridge.If you enjoy our work and would like to support Academic Archers, you can Buy Us a Coffee – buymeacoffee.com/academicarchers.

Welcome to the fifth series in the annual podcast programme from Academic Archers, bringing you papers from our 2024 conference.This episode takes a lighthearted but well-informed look at funeral directing in Ambridge, using real-world research and practice as its frame.Funeral Directing in the UK through an Ambridge Lens - Abi PattendenWhat might funeral provision look like in Ambridge? This paper considers current UK funeral trends and applies them to the village's farming community on the edge of Birmingham.It imagines how existing Ambridge businesses could diversify: farms becoming natural burial grounds, Fallon catering for funeral receptions, or Brookfield's barn hosting gatherings. Could the proposed electric charging station even house a funeral directors? Drawing on demographic knowledge, past storylines and sector research, the paper explores how such services might emerge, while also noting how other continuing dramas have embedded funeral businesses into their communities.About the speakerAbi Pattenden has been a Funeral Director for 16 years and served as President of the National Association of Funeral Directors in 2018–19. She has previously presented at Academic Archers on funeral provision for Joe Grundy, Ambridge's death rates, and on comparing Rob Titchener to Shakespeare's Iago. Abi has an academic background in Shakespearean theatre and an ongoing research interest in funerals, having co-authored papers on topics such as configurational eulogies and hybrid funerals through Aberdeen University's Care in Funerals project.If you enjoy our work and would like to support Academic Archers, you can Buy Us a Coffee – buymeacoffee.com/academicarchers.

Welcome to the fifth series in the annual podcast programme from Academic Archers, bringing you papers from our 2024 conference.This episode takes us beyond Ambridge, exploring the imagined history and real-world potential of the Felpersham Canal.The Felpersham Canal: An Asset Beyond Ambridge - Paul RodgersFor almost a decade in the author's imagination, the Felpersham Canal has taken shape as a living part of Borsetshire's landscape. This paper traces its story from its origins in the 18th century, through its heyday up to the 1920s, its years of decline, and the plans for its restoration and reconnection to the national waterways network via the River Severn.Drawing on the history of British canals, the presentation highlights the economic, social and environmental benefits of waterways, their transformative impact on communities, and what this could mean for Ambridge and its neighbours. Endorsements from waterways ambassadors including Sir David Suchet, Griff Rhys Jones, John Bishop, Sir Tim Smit, and Timothy Spall enrich the case for restoration.Following the conference, the Felpersham Canal Trust will launch as a Community Interest Company, creating a central hub for knowledge and resources to support over 50 restoration projects across the UK. It may even prove useful to The Archers scriptwriters.About the speakerPaul Rodgers is a passionate advocate for the UK's navigable canals and waterways. He has appeared on BBC Radio and Countryfile, and worked with the All-Party Parliamentary Group for the Waterways to bring the sector's challenges to government attention. A former National Chair of the Inland Waterways Association, he hosted regular Waterways Webinars during the Covid period and leads hands-on restoration projects for volunteers of all ages. Beyond his volunteering, Paul is an entrepreneur, innovator, and community builder in the financial sector.If you enjoy our work and would like to support Academic Archers, you can Buy Us a Coffee - buymeacoffee.com/academicarchers.

Welcome to the fifth series in the annual podcast programme from Academic Archers, bringing you papers from our 2024 conference.This episode features a single paper that explores how Aristotle and Greek tragedy continue to shape the drama of Ambridge.Aristotle's Poetics fuel Ambridge Drama - Sally KnightsThis paper demonstrates how The Archers has roots in Greek tragedy, and how knowledge of ancient drama can enrich the listener's appreciation of the programme.Using Aristotle's Poetics, the theatre of Dionysus, and the works of Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides, the paper draws clear parallels between Greek theatre and Ambridge. Questions such as “Who is the Ambridge chorus leader?” and “Where do the writers employ deus ex machina?” sit alongside reflections on how pity, fear and family conflict remain central to its storylines.The comic tradition is also considered, with Greek vase imagery of wine festivals providing a striking link to the Grundys and the cider club.Delivered with humour, rhetorical questions, and references to both Greek terms and Ambridge plotlines, this paper shows how ancient and modern drama are closely connected.About the speakerSally Knights taught Classics for 20 years at Filton College, Bristol, including a sabbatical at Newnham College, Cambridge, and also taught at Redland High, Bristol. She has chaired the Bristol Classical Association, supported local schools through the University of Bristol's outreach network, and produced Greek tragedies at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2010 and 2014. Publications include GCSE Classical Civilisation (OUP, 2009) and The World of the Hero (Bloomsbury, 2017). She is now retired and describes herself as an independent scholar.If you enjoy our work and would like to support Academic Archers, you can Buy Us a Coffee - buymeacoffee.com/academicarchers.

Welcome to the fifth series in the annual podcast programme from Academic Archers, bringing you papers from our 2024 conference.This episode shares the three papers from the session The Men of Ambridge, exploring fathers and sons, brothers, and shifting ideas of masculinity in the village.He's his father's son – in word or deed? - Katharine Hoskyn & Deborah Miller“Every father should remember one day his son will follow his example, not his advice,” said Charles F. Kettering. This paper considers how far that holds true in Ambridge. It explores patterns of behaviour across three generations of male Archers and Grundys, focusing on Ben and Josh Archer, Tom Archer, and George Grundy.While much academic work highlights similarities between mothers and daughters, this research asks whether father–son connections in Ambridge are stronger than we might assume.Katharine Hoskyn lives in rural New Zealand and manages research at Auckland University of Technology. Her academic background spans social science, business and sport, with a focus on community issues. A listener since 1968, she is also part of the Archers Cats online community.Deborah Miller is based in the North East of England and works in the health sector, having previously worked in local government. With a background in history, politics and leadership studies, she has listened to The Archers since 1978.‘A man had two sons': A sort of sermon on Luke 15v11 - Jonathan HustlerSibling rivalry is a theme running through myths, scripture, and The Archers alike. From Kenton and David to Rex and Toby, the storylines echo biblical and cultural archetypes that raise questions of fairness and loyalty.Drawing on the Prodigal Son parable and Genesis narratives, this paper reflects on how rivalries in Ambridge invite listeners to take sides while leaving space for unresolved endings, just as the Bible's stories do.Jonathan Hustler is a Methodist Minister who has taught Church History and Practical Theology. He currently serves as Secretary of The Methodist Conference.The Playboy, the Father, the Scholar and the Brute: Ambridge Masculinities in Historical Perspective - Jessica MeyerRecent storylines have brought masculinity in Ambridge under scrutiny, with George Grundy's behaviour framed as toxic and Ben Archer's breakdown raising questions of fragility. But crises of masculinity are not new.This paper situates these characters, alongside Freddie Pargeter and Brad Horrobin, within a longer history of social anxiety about manhood, from post-war Britain to modern cultural debates. Using historical and sociological theory, it argues that Ambridge's young men may be more complex than the labels suggest.Jessica Meyer is Professor of British Social and Cultural History at the University of Leeds. She specialises in the gender history of the First World War and has published extensively on masculinity, history and popular culture. She also co-presents Oh! What a Lovely Podcast.If you enjoy our work and would like to support Academic Archers, you can Buy Us a Coffee - buymeacoffee.com/academicarchers.
