The Worst of All Possible Worlds

Caitlin Nellist (SlowpukeLIVE) joins the lads for a lovely day out with the Egg Council of America as they cover one of the worst and most popular game shows of all time: Queen for a Day. Topics include the ineptitude of Jack Bailey, the bakeries of El Cajon, and the roots of America’s obsession with the exploitation of trauma.

THIS IS A PREVIEW. FOR THE FULL EPISODE, GO TO Patreon.com/worstofall Snake, it’s Colonel Copywriter. I’m responsible for writing the copy for every product in the world. Have you heard of a podcast called The Worst of All Possible Worlds? They do weekly case studies in the pop culture of a dying empire. And this week, they’re talking about YOU, Snake. Specifically, the Shadow Moses Incident. They’ve even brought on their good friend Manu (Podcast Sans Frontieres, NotACast) to gab about everything from The End of History to how close you come to smooching your clone-brother. The episodes are a lot of fun, Snake, even if they can get a bit irreverent from time to time. You should give it a listen. Also, you can pause the podcast at any time by pressing the pause button. Manu: Bluesky Podcast Sans Frontieres: A Metal Gear Solid analysis podcast. NotACast: is the one true chapter by chapter podcast going through A Song of Ice and Fire one chapter a week. Hosted by ASOIAF losers ... er, experts PoorQuentyn and ManuclearBomb, this is the place where you can get your ASOIAF fix with weekly episodes that dive deep into each chapter in the book series -- giving special attention to theme, story, plot, character, theories and literary analysis. We also call Renly a godless terrorist who was brought to justice.
