The popular 1871 podcast will return for a special one off episode to mark its one year anniversary - and former Reading manager Brian McDermott has been confirmed as the special guest.

McDermott- who led the Royals into the Premier League in 2012- will join Mark Roach, Johnny Hunt and ex Royals left back Dylan Kerr to discuss his latest project and will also give his views on the current Royals team and the progress the club has made over the past 12 months.

Fresh off a three-night sell-out stint at Blue Collar Corner, the former Leeds United boss talks about his battle with alcohol and depression, touring companies and clubs to help the next generation.

The episode will air on Monday, February 20 at 7.00pm and will be available to listen to here.

The 1871 podcast launched in February 2022 with Roach, Hunt and Kerr as co hosts and guests including McDermott, Steve Coppell, Kevin Doyle, Graeme Murty, Noel Hunt, Ivar Ingimarsson, Ibrahima Sonko, Shaka Hislop, Adam Le Fondre, Jamie Cureton and Nicky Forster.

All 1871 podcasts are still available to listen to via this link: https://podcast.sport-social.co.uk/podcast/1871/
