A group of Archers Academics take on subjects such as food, geography, social media, faith. There is, naturally, an entire section dedicated to the Helen and Rob storyline. With contributions from members of the Academic Archers network, the book blurs the line between fact and fiction - The Archers as a BBC soap opera, and Ambridge as a real place in a county called Borsetshire. Each chapter is 'peer reviewed' by a different Ambridge inhabitant. Custard, Culverts and Cake gives the reader a deeper understanding of the real life issues covered in the programme, an insight into the residents of Ambridge, and validation that hours of listening to The Archers is, in fact, academic research. 0 aPrint version record 0aPopular culturezGreat Britain .961118 0aArchers (Radio program)959827 7aSocial SciencexPopular Culture.2bisacsh959385 7aPopular culture.2bicssc9576051 aCourage, Cara,eeditor.9598291 aHeadlam, Nicola,eeditor.959830  z978178743286440uhttps://www.emerald.com/insight/publication/doi/10.1108/9781787432857  c51979d51979
