It's our party and we'll share trivia if we want to! In light of recent political parties to hit the headlines in the UK, Ben takes Barry on a wild ride through some of history's most orgiastic celebrations. We cavort with the Emperor Nero, watch too much ballet with Louis XIV and dress up as cars with the hoi polloi of 1920s Paris.

5, 6, 7, 8! We are scribbling on staves and causing chaos with crotchets this week as we are joined by music historian Dr Leah Broad to discuss the World's Worst Composer. We wade through the lovelife and dressing-up habits of Hector Berlioz, the pigeon-painting of a barmy English aristocrat and the one-hit wonder who died in wild and historic circumstances.

It's great to be here with this week's episode of *check A4 sheet on the back of guitar* Worst Foot Forward to talk about the worst festivals in history. Joined by the host of the Castival podcast, Matt Hoss, we talk about the disastrous iterations of Woodstock, the plague-ridden Chicago World's Fair and why you should be very careful promoting a Charles Dickens Festival.

We're gazing into our crystal balls this week in search of answers to the question "what is the World's Worst Prediction?" We see a handsome stranger entering our lives in the form of comedian Peter Brush who will lead us on a journey of self-discovery alongside Brazilian football legend Pele. Along the way, Ben flings some fish at a Belfast wall in search of love and Barry grinds his axe against one of the most shameful charlatans of modern times.

Oh. Sorry. We didn't expect to see you here today of all places and times. Our mistake. Well, never mind, now you're here we may as well try and explain ourselves in this episode about the World's Worst Misunderstanding in the company of writer Alan Flanagan. We explore mistranslations, mistaken identity and missed opportunities as well as one very intrepid and nearly very devastating bear.

We're cranking up Edwin Starr up as loud as he'll go, kissing our sweethearts goodbye and marching off to the front line as we present a list of some of the stupidest, strangest and most infuriating wars in history. Joined by seasoned journalist and fellow trivia nerd Jonn Elledge we work our way through an entire safari park of animal wars, conflicts with unlikely adversaries and wars that simply should never have happened at all. Forward march!

It's getting cold and dark outside but we are keeping our spirits up with some positive thinking at Worst Foot Forward HQ. We've put together another episode where we return to past topics - in this case, those from episodes 71-75 - and we look for their bests rather than worsts! So listen to us navigate the fertile fields of Elected Heads of Government, Tourist Attractions, Quiz Show Contestants, Knights and Sex Scenes.
