Reading are off the mark for the 2022/23 Championship season and deservedly so too following a hard-working display against Cardiff on Saturday. That means there’s plenty of positivity as Olly Allen and Ross Webber recap the game - from Shane Long’s very special homecoming to Tom Ince’s belter of a winning goal.
Plus, your questions are answered as always in the mailbag, there’s three new signings for Reading Women in newsbites and we look ahead to the games against Stevenage and Rotherham over the next seven days.
This week’s episode also sees the return of pubchat, as Marc Mayo sits down with University of Reading professor Ed Hawkins, the man behind the ‘Show Your Stripes’ climate change campaign that is incorporated in the club’s kits this season.

For our third transfer show show of the summer, Olly Allen is joined by Tilehurst End writer Ben Thomas and Berkshire Live’s Reading FC reporter Jonathan Low.
With exactly four weeks to go until deadline day at the time of recording, we ask what business Reading still need to do, what the latest is with the left-back situation and what the hell is the hold up with Naby Sarr’s move?! It’s also hard to avoid the injury situation, plus there’s chat on transfer target Omari Hutchinson and the two players that the Royals will want to shift before September 1 - George Puscas and Liam Moore.
The show was originally broadcast live on YouTube. That’s the place where you can re-watch and catch all future episodes.
