<p>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.</p> <p>B&B</p>

<p>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.</p> <p>Follow us on Instagram: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/barrymcstay/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">@barrymcstay</a> <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/vanderlaugh/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">@vanderlaugh</a> <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/bechillcomedian/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@bechillcomedian</a></p>
