Alright listeners, time to confess: Are you a Faithful or a Traitor? We are hunting down the World's Worst Traitor in the company of one of the stars of the UK's first season of the hit TV show, The Traitors: Ivan Brett. A brilliant author and gamer, Ivan reveals the true identity of the mysterious John Johnson. Meanwhile Ben unveils the many faces of Lord Haw-Haw and Barry explains why the word quisling is just so damn fun to say.

Loosen your collars and lick your lips, it's getting hot in here as we flirt with the World's Worst Romantic Hero. Making up a very saucy threesome with Barry and Ben on the show this week is comedian, actor and viral sensation Rosie Holt who bats her eyes at one of the biggest names in poetry. Meanwhile, Barry introduces the team to Mr Mills and Mr Boon, and Ben meets his alter-ego, Alexander Brannigan.

"For we're two jolly good fellows!" Indeed, both Barry and Ben's birthday's fall in the month of May, so for this month's bonus episode, Barry presents a goody-bag full of weird and wonderful birthday facts. There is "the birthday problem", the Canadian tradition of nose-greasing and the reason why everyone in Korea is about to de-age.

It's a cosy Barry and Ben episode this week, as we host one of our intermittent "best of the worst" looks back (look-backs?) at the topics from 5 past episodes and flip our outlook from negative to positive. This week we take in episodes 96 to 100 and try to pin down the World's Best Material, God, Vending Machine, Empire and Century. There are cameos from Ronnie O'Sullivan, The Penguin, John Coltrane and a small mining town in Nevada.

There's only three certainties in life: death, taxes and the irresistible trundle of the neverending stream of podcasts. We bring you two of the dreaded horsemen this week, as nominated by our Patreon donor Peter Schaub and there was only ever one expert we could ask for this topic: the finest tax lawyer in the West, Ben's actual wife, Silvana.
She makes a compelling case for the intricacies of VAT being a Lewis Carrol-esque world of nonsense, while Ben and Barry bring their A-game chatting about all the daft things that have been taxed in history from beards to balloons through to playing cards, cowardice and homemade liquid gold...

Shhhh! Silence please in the library, lest we set the demon librarian on you! Tiptoeing around the shelves with us is children's author Ben Davis who takes us spelunking under Paris. Meanwhile Ben finds a library with no books in it and Barry takes a deep dive into the mucky literary waters of Philip Larkin's life.

It's Third Foot time and this one is suggested by Patreon donor Maxwell Lindsay, who found a very Worst Foot figure in the shape of American entrepreneur Timothy Dexter. Learn how he became incredibly wealthy almost by accident, how he dodged his rivals various brickbats with oblivious aplomb and how he staged his own funeral early out of sheer neediness.

Joined by the king of internet triviality and special Patreon guest judge John Robinson, Ben and Barry head down to the local disco in search of the world's worst pop star. Amongst the one-hit wonders and chart-bottoming no-hopers we uncover sinister goings-on in 60s suburban America, a man who torpedoed his career in favour of obscure French poetry and Syria's answer to Dolly Parton.
