Worst Guest Ever

About Worst Guest Ever

“Worst Guest Ever” is a podcast dedicated to parasites and their hosts. I’ve been with my partner, Ann, since 1998, and she has one rule for me while socializing with friends and family – no talking about parasites while people are eating. This podcast is my excuse to break the rules. Each episode, I’ll discuss a parasitic organism with one or more special guests, who will be feasting on a meal that I’ve designed to represent the featured parasite in some way.
