The War and Treaty’s Michael and Tanya Trotter grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington, DC, respectively, but both have family roots in the South. They also grew up in the musical traditions of their churches – Tanya in the Black Baptist Church and Michael in the Seventh Day Adventist Church – where they learned the power of song to move people. After becoming a father at a very young age, Michael eventually joined the armed forces and served in Iraq and Germany, where he took up songwriting as a way of dealing with his experiences there. Meanwhile Tanya embarked on a singing and acting career after a breakthrough appearance in Sister Act 2 alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Lauryn Hill. Now, after a long and sometimes traumatic journey, Michael and Tanya are married, touring, winning all sorts of awards, and set to release their fifth album together, and their fourth as The War and Treaty. Sid talks to Michael and Tanya about the new record, Plus One , as well as their collaboration with Miranda Lambert, what it was like to record at FAME studios in Muscle Shoals, and how they’re blending country, soul, gospel, and R&B.

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.

Ep 312: Barry and Ben - World's Worst Ending 56:35

منذ 5 أيام56:35

56:35

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. B&B…

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. Follow us on Instagram: @barrymcstay @vanderlaugh @bechillcomedian…

A bit of news... we will be winding up the podcast after a couple more episodes. After 300+ regular shows, countless bonus episodes, four live recordings, numerous nuggest of Patreon silliness and god knows what else, we think the show has run its course. That being said, we are grateful to you all for having stuck with us through 8 years of terrible trivia, and there are future projects afoot! Ben has a solo podcast he's been planning for years based on classic pub jokes. AND he and Barry are plotting a new history podcast which they would co-host so chances are you'll hear us together in your ears again before too long. In the meantime, there is a whole back catalogue to enjoy - and keep an eye out for our final two episodes in the next few weeks. All the best, and worst, Barry and Ben…

We're joined this week for an insidious hour of sneaky, underhand plotting and planning with returning friend of the pod Paul Duncan McGarrity. We discover bungling Quebecois terrorists and security guards, batshit crazy Japanese anarchists, a blow-by-blow account of everything wrong with the Gunpowder Plot and the stupidest double-agent of all-time.

The Third Foot: The Count of St. Germain 30:21

Ben takes us back to a curious figure from history who we once mentioned in passing and who now receives his moment in the spotlight: The Count of St. Germain claimed to be centuries old while wowing the great and the good of Europe during the late 18th century with his many talents and tall tales. A huckster? Probably. And certainly deserving of a place in the Worst Foot Hall of Heroes.

We are verging on December and the end of the year, so with cold weather and long nights we bring you some positivity. It's one of our intermittent episodes where we revisit old topics and find the best in those categories rather than the worst. In this show, we look at the World's Best Host, Assassin, Banker, Apology and Chat-Up Line. Featuring David Frost, the Assassins and a rather belated apology from an Italian city to one of its most famous sons.

This week we're erecting our episode quicker than a team of Amish farmers can erect a barn. With returning guest Dr Anna Ploszajski we discuss the absolute worst materials you could ever use in building your dream home. From the banal damage to concrete, to the lost dream of Lego and a particularly grisly offering from Ben, you'll never look at Grand Designs the same way again.

We make up for last month's lack of a bonus episode - blame "life" - with a bumper episode all about Earth's favourite sidepiece: the moon! Ben takes Barry to Selene and back with a bit of blue, stories from Apollo 12 (the difficult second album) and why the Americans thought the Moon, if indeed made of cheese, could have benefitted from the addition of a bit of mushroom (cloud).
