To trivia...and beyond! The podcast goes galactic this week with an episode about the World's Worst Planet and yes, we know, if you have a problem with the show's naming convention you're too late. We're 259 episodes in, we ain't going back now! Alongside us is astrophysicist Dr. Alfredo Carpineti who explains to us EXACTLY what a planet is, while Ben looks back in time and Barry cheats a bit by mentioning some moons.

Don't panic! Well actually, do panic a little bit.

For this special Patreon episode Ben and Barry have cornered real live climate scientist and comedian Matt Winning to find out how bad the climate catastrophe really is (bad) and how farcical it could otherwise have been (very). We discover the comet madness that gripped the world in 1910, the dangers of angering floating brains in space, a German count with a 3-storey ark and the real reason why climate change is so very bad, plus what we might be able to do to start reversing its effects. Panicking a bit less now?

With a sweltering August, Ben on holiday and Barry performing his civid duty, the boys are taking a well earned hiatus. However, the pod-gods demand sacrifices and here we present at their altar a compilation episode! It contains some of our favourite moments featuring guests who are performing at this year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival. There are standout stories like Sindhu Vee's gold medal tantrum, Glenn Moore's unfortunate numerical newsreader and John Robertson's troubling housemates.

Vote Worst Foot! We are waving banners, sporting rosettes and handing out manifestos written on the back of cigarette packets which week as we campaign for our candidates to be the World's Worst Political Party. We have Mark Thomas as our guest alongside us on the hustings, a political comedian of the highest calibre who tells us about his own experience of running for election and lots more besides. Ben puts forward a Czechslovakian party from the 1910s which was as much performance art as politics, and Barry sings the praises of rhinos, gorillas and two-tailed dogs.

Our monthly bonus episode sees us dive deeper into the life of a figure who we discussed in our World's Worst Inventor episode, Captain Richard Pockrich. The Irish eccentric proposed putting wings on all the adults in Ireland, blood transfusions to promote immortality and also invented the eery glass harp, that musical instrument beloved of spooky and hypnotic types. He's going to be a hero in our book one day (it's being written, we promise!), so let's celebrate him now!

Well suckle a she-wolf, it's time for an episode all about preposterous national wolves. We fly around the globe with our mind (but in the way the Kims of North Korea claim to be able to) as we encounter unlikely Celtic connections in the Americas, the horrifying domino effect of Turkey's claim to be the root of all language and some quite astonishing revelations about Her Majesty the Queen.

We are halfway through Wimbledon, one of the great sporting tournaments of the year. It seems appropriate to embrace our competitive spirits and discuss the World's Worst Tournament in the company of comedian, board gamer and FIFA Men's World Cup nerd James Cook. James tells us all about Mussolini's hosting skills, Ben waves a knight around on the end of a lance and Barry tells the touching story of the competition to find the world's very worst golfer.

It's the longest day of the year - which just means more time to listen to podcasts! Ben and Barry are here to brighten your day with a bonus episode all about the Midsummer Festival. We slide up and down the Swedish Maypole, smack ourselves in the face with Portuguese leeks and hammers, and we criticise Doctor Johnson's bonfire.

Join us in a muddy ruck on the halfway line as we get down to the mucky business of finding the worst rugby XV of all time, in the company of award-winning Liverpudlian comic Sian Davies. We uncover the dark, bloody (and occassionally noble) histoy of rugby, as well as the dictators who had a penchant for a scrum and why the key to success includes a skill for amateur theatre.
