"The Archers" to be available as a podcast
"Everyday story of country folk" on your iPod
15 October 2007 10:47 GMT / By Amy-Mae Elliott
Radio 4's "The Archers" is to become a 24/7, on-demand podcast.
It will be the first BBC drama serial to be turned into a regular podcast, available to download for free to PCs and transfer to iPods or other MP3 players.
Although you might not think it from the assumptions about "The Archers" target audience, but fans of the series have proved quick to take-up new technology.
"The Archers" is the most popular programme on the BBC's Radio Player, the listen-again service that offers access to any show from the previous 7 days. It regularly receives more than 1 million listens a month.
"Silver Street", BBC Asian Network's daily soap, will also be made into a podcast. Both will be available via the BBC website or through iTunes.
