The boys ask about Rob’s thoughts on the academy and the Women’s team, and learn more about Disco Demolition night.
Plus, Ross and Ben get to the bottom of the most important mystery out there: just what are the names of Rob’s dogs?

With the dust settling on both the 2024/25 season and the Dai Yongge era, Ben and Ross decide it’s time for a look back at the season as a whole, and do some redecorating of their own…
In a deluxe pod, the boys discuss the off-field events in the first half, including the key moments in the season-long sale saga. In the second half, Ross takes us through some key games during the season and the tactics that defined them.

Ben and Ross spend an afternoon enjoying discussing things that Reading could do with their future. And hey, isn’t that nice speculation to engage in as Reading fans?
The pair discuss what the new American owners could do with our club, and what should be high up on the priority list off the pitch. Ross pitches a strange backwards marketing campaign for the club whereby they right the wrongs of years past, plus there’s a bumper mailbag for Ben to chew through.

The Premier League brings out all the big guns for the under-18s cup final (and hopefully pays for them too), but the young Royals fall 2-1 at home in a late shock defeat to West Ham United. Ben runs us through that game before Ross recaps the men's team's 5-1 thrashing of Mansfield Town.
There’s yet another club statement for the pod to make a statement about relating to the ownership crisis, plus lots of excitement (and a fair amount of nervousness) around the playoff run-in.

Two wins on the bounce take Reading two points clear into the playoff places with five games to go, while the club announce another period of exclusivity has ended, with a familiar face seemingly waiting in the wings.
That gives Ben and Ross plenty to discuss, with the performance of Harvey Knibbs against Shrewsbury Town on Ross’ mind in particular.
A meaty mailbag is mostly focused on the ownership saga, but there’s also time for our hosts to stitch up another listener’s international trip to the Madejski Stadium.

The boys hop back into the studio a match earlier than expected because that Peterborough United victory was just too exciting for Ross to handle. Ben’s got plenty to say about Charlie Savage, and Noel Hunt’s game plan gives Ross much to be excited about.
Tivonge Rushesha dance-y dances his way to 20 more touches than any other Reading defender, and Michael Stickland shows an understated calm in his audition to be Tyler Bindon’s replacement.

The Royals extend their unbeaten run to double figures, but does it feel like it? Ben and Ross are as mixed on that as the fanbase as a whole. The pair discuss the draw with Stevenage, as well as the ever-thinning personnel available for Reading at centre-back.
Plus lots of discussion of the run-in and how Reading might fare over the remaining nine matches. Will a rest help with the playoff run-in, and does the fixture list favour Reading?

Reading put together another four-point week to maintain the recent 'two points per game' form and keep Ross dreaming of the playoffs. With Ben out knitting, Ryan joins the pod to give his take on the full-backs, and a full-throttle victory against Phil Parkinson’s Wrexham.
Plus discussion on the Crawley Town result, in which Ross tries to argue that there was very little difference on show from the four 'nothing results' Reading have already produced in Noel Hunt’s reign.

Reading pick up fur points with a deserved win on the road against Wigan Athletic, followed by a rocky draw at home to Exeter City. Ben and Ross break down both games with a focus on Reading’s trouble creating chances against well drilled defences, but celebrate the progress Reading have made in 2024/25..
The mailbag spills over with differing opinions, ending in a discussion of whether Reading are ‘ready’ in the unlikely event they are promoted.
There’s even time for a check in on Tom Dele-Bashiru, and the boys wonder where on earth Ben Elliott has got to.

Reading enter yet another period of exclusivity with a potential buyer mere minutes before Ben and Ross begin recording. Luckily they've got SBWD and STAR member Adam Jones with them to discuss what the club suggests could be a "quick completion".
Alongside cautiously optimistic discussion of the exclusivity statement, there’s an update on Adam's work with STAR and SBWD, and news on Yuan Yang’s petition for an inquiry into the running of the club.
Plus, on the pitch, the Royals pick up a clean sheet against the league leaders, and take a second point from them in 24/25.

The Tilehurst End’s own Tom Hill joins the chat this week to help Ross outnumber Ben with tactics nerds. The trio discuss early signs of some tactical shifts that were direly needed in midfield after Shrewsbury, with Savage and Wing’s roles seemingly adjusted.
There’s further discussion of Wareham and Ehibhatiomhan’s futures in this Reading attack, plus more discussion of the best food available in each hosts’ locale. Plus, the boys open up the contract book to see where Reading will stand on July 1st, 2025.

Reading win two on the spin to leave themselves sitting just outside of the playoff spots: firmly in nosebleed territory.
Ben and Ross are up late to review some of the key contributors to the victories, and discuss who should start against Bristol Rovers.
Ross is in England for a few matches after a brief stop at Shamrock Rovers (Noel Hunt’s old stomping grounds), and Ben learns midway through the pod that the show is now available in video format on TTE’s Youtube channel.
