Ep 312: Barry and Ben - World's Worst Ending
Worst Foot Forward
Well friends, this is the end. The final episode of Worst Foot Forward sees Barry and Ben talking about the World's Worst Ending. There are welcome returns from old pals (hey there, Pliny) as the boys explore everything from swansongs to TV finales, sporting calamity to literary disaster. It's a grab-bag befitting the grab-bag nature of the podcast. Thanks to everyone for listening over the years, all the guests who have appeared on the show, the donors on Patreon and our spouses for bearing with our trivia addictions. We'll see you on another podcast somewhere soon. B&B

Worst Foot Forward
It's nearly the end of the road for the podcast and so we have returned to familiar faces - one of our earliest guests, Bec Hill, joins us for her 3rd appearance to discuss the hermetically-sealed, closely-appraised, eBay-listed turds that make up the World's Worst Merchandise. Bec finds out what condoms Bono recommended in the 80s, Barry examines saintly body parts and Ben lies down in a Kiss Casket. Follow us on Instagram:

The Third Foot: The Count of St. Germain
Worst Foot Forward
Ben takes us back to a curious figure from history who we once mentioned in passing and who now receives his moment in the spotlight: The Count of St. Germain claimed to be centuries old while wowing the great and the good of Europe during the late 18th century with his many talents and tall tales. A huckster? Probably. And certainly deserving of a place in the Worst Foot Hall of Heroes. Follow us on Twitter: Follow us on Instagram: Join us on our Discord server!

Ep 308b: Best of the Worst of the Best 25
Worst Foot Forward
We are verging on December and the end of the year, so with cold weather and long nights we bring you some positivity. It's one of our intermittent episodes where we revisit old topics and find the best in those categories rather than the worst. In this show, we look at the World's Best Host, Assassin, Banker, Apology and Chat-Up Line. Featuring David Frost, the Assassins and a rather belated apology from an Italian city to one of its most famous sons. Follow us on Twitter: Follow us on Instagram: Join us on our Discord server!

With returning guest Dr Anna Ploszajski we discuss the absolute worst materials you could ever use in building your dream home.

The Third Foot: The Moon
Worst Foot Forward
We make up for last month's lack of a bonus episode - blame "life" - with a bumper episode all about Earth's favourite sidepiece: the moon! Ben takes Barry to Selene and back with a bit of blue, stories from Apollo 12 (the difficult second album) and why the Americans thought the Moon, if indeed made of cheese, could have benefitted from the addition of a bit of mushroom (cloud).
