Real Reading Podcast

Great informative Reading podcast on local news and events with interviews featuring local businesses and charities.

Interesting to hear what is happening in Reading

Could be better to have a few short episodes instead of hour long ones

A great podcast for Reading residents

I've lived in Reading for nearly 25 years and this podcast is a great way to find out about local people, events and news. I've listened to every episode while driving around Reading or at work and the team are getting slicker week by week; although I quite enjoy the meandering conversations when they occasionally go off script (fly-tipping discussion anyone).
I'm building up a list of eating places I need to go to having heard about them on this podcast. I am looking forward to the re-opening of Reading Abbey. I even like the council activity updates - which let's face it would be dull if you read them on the web.
Overall a great source of information about Reading and an improving level of production value.
