  • Ep 13: Jim Smallman - World's Worst Wrestler

    Can you smeeeeeeeell what the Foot is cooking?!?! Join as we jump off the top rope, only to land awkwardly and give ourselves a hernia as we chat to comedian, idiot, relentless storyteller and top hole wrestling promoter Jim Smallman about the worst wrestlers of all time. As you might have noticed, this is our longest episode by far - once we opened up this Pandora's box it was impossible to stop exploring. In this episode you'll find stories about T-Rexes invading hospitals, far from holy conceptions and the staggeringly broad boundaries of taste that professional wrestlers are power-slammed over in the name of sports entertainment.

    Are you sitting comfortably? Then we'll begin...

  • Ep 11: Paul Flannery - World's Worst Board Game

    Here at Worst Foot Forward we love a board game so it's about time we explored those games that are all snakes and no ladders. Rolling the dice with us is Paul Flannery, actor, comedian, and creator and host of the exceptionally geeky stage shows 'Knightmare Live' (http://knightmarelive.com/) and 'The MMORPG Show'. Taking turns on the World's Worst Board Games, we land on such notable squares as memorable breasts, the bathhouses of Monopoly, and the Swedish Parliament in 2012.
