I then started watching a streamer he recommended (SK the crusader). This...”Read full review »

“I found this great podcast recently during one of New Zealand interminable lockdowns. While I wandered the local streets, nothing else to do (or allowed to do), I’ve listening to Barry and Ben. And surprisingly their special brand of crazy has somehow kept me sane, if walking the streets alone...”Read full review »

“As someone who loves stories, this podcast is excellent. It’s like a fun collection of crazy tales. I often laugh out loud on my afternoon stroll. It’s definitely worth the strange looks from my neighbors.”

“I started listening after a recommendation from one of my friends after I discovered what I think is the world’s worst video game (Mario’s Time Machine - prove me wrong) and I’ve been hooked ever since. It’s so good, and I’ll be devastated when I finally catch up and have to wait for each episode!”

“Just discovered this last weekend and I’ve been binge-listening since then. Genuinely funny, always fascinating, and occasionally furious about all the right things. 3 seasons late to the party I know, but it’s my favourite new discovery since I got into No Such Thing as a Fish.”

It’s great to hear that I’m not the only one who gets things wrong, and especially not as bad as the people that Barry and Ben look into!”

“For a podcast dedicated to finding the worst XYZ, it’s a delightful romp and also helps me reframe how I think of worst (e.g. is worst escape the most hamhanded or the worst detected?) Ben & Barry put a significant amount of creativity & work into both research & being clever. Well done.”
