Listeners with an interest in football may well have heard the brilliant story of SV Tasmania Berlin as their unique record in German football was under threat last month. For non-football fans / regular Worst Foot Forward nerds, stay with us: they're the worst football team in the German Premier League's history, they know it and they LOVE it. If that's not what this podcast is about, we don't know what is! And so, in this special bonus episode, we are joined by Tasmania's fan coordinator HCL and their Englishman-turned-local fan Jamie to hear about how they came to rack up 31 consecutive games without a win, how their record was saved at the last second and how they love to be such losers.

For we're the jolly worst fellow, and so say all of you! Blimey, 200 episodes of this nonsense, who'd have thought it? And to celebrate this milestone we have brought back two stellar former guests in the shape of Paul Duncan McGarrity and Johnny Chiodini. Not only that, but - rather like the last day of term - we've brought in games to play! Johnny takes on the role of Games Master to guide Ben, Barry and Paul through his role-playing game Glaze of Blory, all about being inept knights and trying to kill each other as often as possible. It's a suitably silly way to see in our 200th episode, celebrating our truly heroic failures as we try to induce toad-licking, lead-poisoning and griffin-mauling. Thanks to all of you for listening, and here's to the next 200.

In this week's episode Ben and Barry are joined by 1/3 of the Drunk Women Solving Crime podcast - writer, comedian and first-class soused sleuth Hannah George. Together the three of them prepare for friendly, not-so friendly and completely unhinged competition.
We find out why Sumo wrestlers like yelling at babies, discover astounding new depths of misogyny from the 1950s and reality TV and get hot under the bathrobe in Finland.

This week's show is an absolute banger. Joined by comedian and actor Sukh Ojla we head to darkest corners of the Worst Foot Forward abattoir to uncover the ludicrous history of terrible sausages. On our way we meet Kaiser Wilhelm's vicious dachshunds, the wurst Botox outbreak and how sausages have inspired bets, duels and wars.

We realise many of our listeners might want to volunteer their own countries for this week's accolade of World's Worst Country, but in the capable company of one half of the Map Men, Mark Cooper-Jones, we think we might be able to outdo you. We bring you to micronations ruled by animals, the very affordable pricing of Liechtenstein and the nation that encompasses all of outer space itself.

It our first bonus episode of 2021 - bye 2020, out with the old, in with the new. This new year brings a new US president, and to mark the occasion, Barry takes us on a walk down memory lane to past US presidential inaugurations. We hear tales of dead pigeons, frozen champagne, faltering poets and absent wives.

This week we open the doors to the Worst Foot Gallery to uncover the world's worst artist. The collection is full of bodily fluids, fascists, murderers, self-proclaimed unjustified geniuses and one man who took performance art far to far indeed. We're joined by Mo Omar: a man who is stand-up comedy's gain to art school's loss. Enjoy this show whilst scratching your chin and considering the question: is this episode art?

Yaaaaar me hearties. We come to you peg-legged, one-eyed, half-lunged and rotten-toothed for a special dig into our vaults. For the first time in Worst Foot Forward history both Ben and Barry are suffering under the weather (a brutal so'esterly) and so we're giving you the opportunity to listen again to one of our favourite ever episodes, all about the world's worst pirates. We'll be back next week, ship-shape and ready to sail with more daft tales of humanity's terrible mistakes.

This episode feels like it has been a long time coming, frankly. Nobel Laureates include some of the best of us - and, as we discover today, some of the worst of us too. Science storyteller Kat Arney joins us to help guide us through a ceremony full of failure, with misogynistic self-publicists, war-mongering peace prize winners and the worst category of all: Economics.

A very merry new year to you all! After the stress of 2020, we thought it was best to get back to nature for our first episode of 2021. Joined by award-winning tree sculptor Simon O'Rourke we strolled through the blood-stained woodland glades of myth, history and surgery to find the world's worst tree.
