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…

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.
