Leam Richardson starts his League One Royals fixtures with a victory against high-flying Stevenage. Ben and Ross discuss the win, including the players who impressed and the areas of the pitch Leam’s Royals are looking to attack.

With no preview needed, the boys dive into some deeply international-break-brained chat in the mailbag, exploring the worlds of fizzy drinks, Reading FC-themed murals and 442.

Polar Pop, anyone?

Thanks as always to our friends at ZCZ Films for sponsoring the pod!

Thank you to The Amazons for providing the theme song!
