Hugh Fort, Rachel Nemeth and Tom Canning return this week with the 96th episode of the Real Reading Podcast.

There’s also a look at the news Reading and Bracknell’s rubbish tips have been put up for an award, and the important question around what you’d happily queue up for in a post Covid world now a lot of non-essential businesses are reopening.
