It’s not on radio here in the colonies as far as I know. I get the feeling that most callerinerers and listenerers have a link to the UK and listen via podcast.
I am in Autralia and I can tell you that the Archers is not a thing here. No one I speak to knows what it is. I guess Millie Bell does but that’s about it. It is not syndicated on ABC radio. No-one ever mentions it. You know how there was an article about the storyline that must not be named in the New York Times well, in Australia, nothing. Doesn’t exist.
As a US listener, I think it helps to have some U.K. Connection/interest (my mother is English). That said, she has never mentioned The Archers or expressed any interest in the fact that I am a current listener! I think it also helps to be interested in podcasts in general (there’s so much out there!) and what non-U.S. voices have to offer. As monolingual Americans, the BBC is a good place to look for alternative programming that we can understand and the BBC has done a great job of making a lot of radio programming available via podcast.
