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.

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).

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.

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.

Some said it couldn't be done. Some said it SHOULDN'T be done. But here we are - the podcast has reached 300 episodes! So the proud parents are taking out the photo album to show off some of their big strong pod-child's embarrassing snaps from its youth. In the time-honoured style of one of those TV retrospective shows, Barry and Ben each share 3 of their favourite facts from the show, 5 of their favourite moments and their favourite episode. Enjoy some classic Worst Foot Forward clips such as Lisztomania, Morrissey's appalling sex scenes, live audience sound FX, George Sitwell's wasp gun and the lifespan of astatine.
The show features the following guests, in order of appearance: Bethany Black, Moxie Labouche, Georgie Morrell (now Georgie Wyatt), Joshua Tonks, Seb Falk, Helen Arnie, Professor Elemental, Tristan Bernays, Tulip Siddiq MP, Alexander Bennett, Paul Duncan McGarrity, Dr Kit Chapman, Robyn Perkins, Joel Morris, Bec Hill, Jay Foreman, Ria Lina, Johnny Chiodini, Ellie Gibson, Will Seaward and Dr Keir Shiels.

Check out this episode, mate! This week's gambit involves Romanian stand-up comedian and chess enthusiast Radu Isac joining us to discuss the world's worst chess grandmaster. We blitz our way through various aspects of the game's history, from its multiple weird adaptations to those players who cheated using everything from phones to sleight-of-hand, and there is even an appearance by our old friend The Mechanical Turk.

With the Snooker World Championship in full swing, Ben takes us for a break around the table with a potted history of snoooker, with some billiards and pool thrown in. There are tales of deathly dull games, the day inclement weather halted a match and the story of one snooker referee's brush with musical superstardom.

With a hey nonny no, a slap of the thigh and some deeply questionable lyrics we're joined this week by accordionist, folk singer and comedian David Eagle to root out the world's worst folk song. There's bizarre cover versions, flutes made of human bones, creaking extended metaphors and a roast of Henry VIII. Grab your mandolin and get stuck in!

It's one of our occasional trips down memory lane, and we are revisiting episodes 111 to 115 to discuss not the worst but the World's Best Smell, Algorithm, Manager, Design Flaw and Saint. This episode sees Barry try to convince Ben that he is scientifically disposed to vanilla and Ben trying to convince Barry that Portuguese nonuplet renegades are better than Oscar Wilde's favourite sexy martyr. So, more of the same guff then.
