128 - JACOB HAWLEY - WORLD'S WORST NARCOTIC

July 29, 2019

Open your doors of perception and take a long toke of this week's mind-bending episode. With guest Jacob Hawley - comedian and host of BBC podcast, Jacob Hawley: On Drugs - we snort, sniff and soft-boil any substance we can in search of the World's Worst Narcotic. Barry hangs around the sewage pipes of Zambia, Ben feeds hallucinogenic lichen to goats and Jacob introduces us to the cutest-sounding drug popular among Noughties New Ravers. Plus we finally figure out what every character in Winnie The Pooh is smoking.

THE THIRD FOOT - THE FUTURIST COOKBOOK

July 27, 2019

In this month's bonus episode (paid for by our kind donors on Patreon), we revisit our episode about the World's Worst Cook with Fiona Sagar and specifically, the deliciously daft Futurist Cookbook. We learn about the origins of the Futurist movement and its nasty nationalistic side, we discover why arch-Futurist Filippo Marinetti thought pasta was the root of all Italy's evils and we taste a variety of dishes from chicken with ball bearings inside to caramel with meat inside. Mmmmm. Tasty.

127 - ALEX KEALY - WORLD'S WORST MUSICAL INSTRUMENT

July 22, 2019

This week we have our tuning forks and ear trumpets out as we play the world's worst musical instruments. We are joined by comedian, writer, tutor and former recorder-enthusiast Alex Kealy, who regales us with tales of the vuvuzela's bio-hazardous capabilities. Ben looks at one-man-bands..one-men-band...one-mans-band... those guys. And Barry blows on the most terrifying whistle in history, courtesy of our old friends, the Aztecs.

126 - CALLY BEATON - WORLD'S WORST PARENTS

July 15, 2019

Straighten your tie, sit up straight, eat up your greens and don't even think about listening to this podcast dressed in that short skirt as this week we're talking about the world's worst parents.

We're joined by stand-up comedian (and former senior vice-president) Cally Beaton who shares with us tales of Hollywood amorality, dolphin-led birthing and spitting on babies to keep the devil away.

125 - JULIETTE BURTON - WORLD'S WORST CHAT-UP LINE

July 8, 2019

Well hey there good looking, let's say you and me head back to my place, hop on the good foot and do the bad thing? That's right, listen to a podcast all about terrible chat-up lines (whilst rutting.)

We're joined by comedian Juliette Burton this week to talk about the worst wooing imaginable: why Casanova is more than just a charmer, how to pick up a partner in Ancient Rome, the horror of hack and one man's terrible moustache and even worse self-publishing empire.

124 - ANGUS DUNICAN - WORLD'S WORST APOLOGY

July 1, 2019

For what you are about to hear, we are truly sorry. Which is appropriate, as we are all about the World’s Worst Apology this week in the company of the sorry excuse for a human that is Angus Dunican and with guest judge, Patreon supporter and friend of the show, the unforgivable Dr Keir Shiels. We have big hitters like Galileo and the US government, Barry goes round the board of the game Sorry!, Ben joins a Japanese measles cult and we all try to cast the stage adaptation of The Muppets Christmas Carol.
