Worst Foot Forward

This is an episode overflowing with flavours, covered in toppings and oozing cheese - if by flavours, toppings and cheese we mean trivia - as we talk about the World's Worst Pizza in the company of comedian and improviser Meredith Hackman. There's Pizzagate, pizza rat, shame pizza, Pentagon pizza and much more besides!

Check out Meredith and Barry playing games most weeks on Noobs on the Gooftower!

With Barry absent in Ireland for a funeral, we had to cancel our recordings this month. Apologies! But it allows us to revisit episode 230 which was about the Worst Funerals! We both agreed it was a belter when we recorded it, so - like all the best funerals - it deserves an encore.

This week Ben and Barry welcome back returning guest Simon Watt. Simon is an expert biologist and science communicator who is going to help them answer one of the biggest questions: out of all of Mother Nature's creations, which is the worst? We meet tragic endlings, furry crabs and come face to proboscis with man's greatest enemy...

Sit down and tell us a bit about yourselves, as we gather for this bonus episode on job interviews. Barry takes Ben through the resumé of hiring processes, ranging from Thomas Edison taking you out for soup to modern day practitioners making you moo like cows. There are also quizzes, famous apprentices and a cluster of US vice-presidential nominees being vetted - or not, as the case may be.

It's August, all potential guests are at the Edinburgh Fringe this month, so it's a Ben and Barry duo show, as they look back at the topics covered in episodes 116-120 and find the BEST in those categories rather than the worst. There are princes (and Prince), scientific frauds (and cats), mascots (and giants), allergies (and exercise) and Dungeons and Dragons (and a whole lot of berserking).

It's time to flush out the worst do-gooders in the world. Joining Ben and Barry is current stand-up comic and former Oxfam charity shop employee Amy Mason. Together they discover how Justin Bieber, height, a hedgehog, a kindly old man and erotica have been used to raise money for good causes. And also a health spa.

Inspired by the timeless glory of the sporting jamboree going on in Paris right now, have another lesson to this classic episode where Ben and Barry dive head first (with a triple twist and a confused pike) into the more leftfield history of the Olympic Games. They take a short look at the international alternatives to the great games before turning their attention to the idiosyncratic, drunken and farcical antecedents of the modern Olympiad.

Join our two regular birdbrains as they talk to comedian, writer and wondrous performance artist Victoria Melody as they scan history - both human and natural - for the world's worst bird.

To celebrate our 300th episode, we're celebrating the most famous 300 men in history - the Spartan warriors who died valiently fighting the Persians. Except there werent' 300 of them. And not everyone they fought was strictly Persian. And they ended up in this pickle thanks to the weasely behaviour of a shepherd. For this and more historical tomfoolery, whack this month's Third Foot in your ears.
