This week we're emptying out our recycling bin all over the Worst Foot Table as Barry is busy opening an immersive Doctor Who experience and Ben has ground himself into tiny dust being the dictionary definition of a road comic.
To keep you satiated with daft trivia we've strung together some previously unreleased material featuring guests Anuvab Pal tittering with us about empire, Angela Barnes telling all on a recording of Celebrity Deal or No Deal, Andrew O'Neill sharing their other-worldly revelations, plus a sliver of our recent live show which didn't make the original cut.

This week we're donning our swords, sandals, pointy helmet, tartan fighting trousers and fascist moustaches as we head to the cinema to grimace through the world's worst historical movies. Joined by historian Dr Kate Vigurs we reveal Larry Olivier's collaboration with the Moonie Church that had him laughing all the way to the bank, the staggering anachronisms upon which Braveheart was built and how Columbus' rickety legacy was ruined.

We often struggle to keep it clean here on Worst Foot Forward and this week it will be extra hard as we are getting down and dirty with the World's Worst Cleaner. Award-winning playwright Tatty Hennessy is with us to share grubby tales of space and Bitcoin, while Ben finds a terrorist with a yen for cleanliness and Barry tries to clean - and then paint - the tallest building in the world.

We hope you have your ear trumpets at the ready for this week's episode as we're joined by comedian, author and care worker Pope Lonergan to talk about the world's worst carer.
We take another tap dance along the bleakest of tightropes and use a balancing pole weighted with stories of support peacocks, prince regents and the worst use for a pair of scales in history.

It's spooky season with Hallowe'en upon us and so there's a funereal tone on Worst Foot Forward this week. With podcaster extraordinaire Pete Donaldson as our chief mourner, we are trying not to trip up the cortege at the World's Worst Funeral. There are wrong bodies, un-dead bodies, exploding bodies and lots more bodies besides.

Ghosts and ghouls abound in our Hallowe'en special bonus episode which sees us chat about the ouija board, trick-or-treating and the history of pumpkin tossing in North America. Enjoy spooky season folks and to our friends in Utah especially: watch out for any bright orange projectiles.

This week Ben and Barry take on one of the big three scientific disciplines: chemistry. Accompanied by Dr Kit Chapman, they artfully sidestep the really dark stuff to discover stories of the German who cached gallons of his own urine in the search for phosphorus, Robert Boyle's Buzzfeed article and why you shouldn't let Dmitri Mendeleev anywhere near your wife.

Oh what a night! A full 19 months after our first live show, here's our second - our World's Worst Literary Salon with special guests Jay Foreman, Bec Hill and Ria Lina, recorded in front of a REAL ACTUAL PROPER AUDIENCE OF HUMANS on 10th October 2021 at the Backyard Comedy Club in London. Featuring all manner of awfulness, from the poetry of McGonagall to the sex scenes of Morrissey, with a whole host of dead moose on Broadway, a feral mongoose courtesy of Bram Stoker and a trek across the Andes.
With special thanks to our sound recordist James Hingley.

It's time to lob some merry positivity your way as Ben and Barry reverse the polarity of the podcast and pick their World's Best for the topics covered in those shows. We revisit our discussions with Jamie Stegmaier about games, Daniel Bye about political theatre, Gabriel Ebulue about music videos, Jonny Singer about sporting rules and Glenn Moore about newscasters. As ever, there's great big hairy lumps of trivia, enthusiasm and the creation of an incredible new Olympic sport.
