49: Recording the Real Reading Podcast is an absolute joy. EXCEPT WHEN TECHNICAL GREMLINS HAPPEN. That's enough of the caps. Somehow some absolute gold about Bar Oz didn't make it through the mic to the recording thing. What did make it through was some terrific insight in to what it is to be a Reading Borough Councillor as we are joined by Ashley Pearce for a chat. This weeks Fort Explains It All is around the proposed closure of Reading's public toilet's and Tom has another list of things.


There's also a Monkey Tax update from (sainthood pending) Linda Fort and we'll announce who will be our special guest for the 50th episode of the Real Reading Podcast. Let prattle commence!

Well that went well. After 14 attempts to record a scratchy podcast over an internal laptop microphone due to 'someone' forgetting a very important cable, we finally gave up and recorded on Friday. Sadly that mean no Rachel this week but there's high level waffle from Hugh and Tom - albeit (and probably thankfully) briefly along with an interview with Matt Tully and John Goodman from Progress Theatre.
