Before you listen to this BBC podcast I want to tell you why I love podcasting.

Hi my name's Tommy Dixon and I make podcast for the BBC. I'm a big fan of stories

always loved a good book but when I started commuting for my first job, I discovered

podcasts. I was blown away about how a creative idea and the right mixture of sounds

could take you into a whole new world full of incredible stories. You know, the type that

make you go, wow. And that kind of inspired me to give it a go myself,

which to cut a long story short led to a BBC training scheme and a whole new career given other people that exact same feeling. So if you want to hear

amazing stories that make you go wow like I did, they're just a tap or a click away

on BBC Sounds.

BBC Sounds, music radio podcasts.

You're listening to Tuesday's episode of The Archers from BBC Radio 4. And the Just some water for the table please. My mother might order a glass of wine when she gets here.

Thank you.

Alice?

What?

You're facing a nice meal in a restaurant, not an exam.

Oh, sorry.

You could try to look a little less like you're about to sit your A levels. Oh, I can't help it, Harry, I'm so nervous. There really is no need. I promise. It's been a very long time since I've done and meet the folks. That was with Susan and Neil who I've known all my life.

And they seem like really nice people.

Yeah they are. Well I'm also glad I had a chance to meet them.

I mean, Susan can have her moments sometimes. But she's a good person and Neil's a sweetheart.

And my mother is a sweetheart too, I promise.

Oh, I'm sure she is.
