5 MAR 2025 · A star studded line up for the 100th episode of the podcast as radio titans Greg James and Shaun Keaveny join Chris for a brilliant and hilarious look back at some of their worst times!Â
Greg recounts the badly behaved listeners who have almost got him sacked as well as the trousers incident on the train that left him in a sticky situation and Shaun remembers the booze induced incidents which resulted in him freezing up live at the Edinburgh Fringe and forgetting a famous pop star's name on live TV. Plus, there is an inordinate amount of talk regarding the idiosyncratic American rapper and singer Pitbull.Â
But this episode is also tinged with sadness as it's the final ever Worst Time Podcast episode. After releasing weekly episodes for 100 weeks on the trot now, Chris has decided to wrap up the show and embrace life as a new father (fresh with Shaun's brilliant parental advice of course).Â
Bit of a content warning for this one - there are some swear words, including perhaps the worst swear word of them all! But hey - we're going out with a bang so we've left the bleeper button at the door!Â
So - thank you to all the guests and thank you to all the listeners. It's been brilliant fun. So long everyone, and thanks for all the worst times!
26 FEB 2025 · An extremely high energy episode this week as the powerhouse that is Benji Webbe, frontman of the reggae/metal band Skindred, hops on for episode 99 of the Worst Time Podcast!Â
Benji tells Chris about his early days in Dubwar before starting up Skindred, what it was like being "a black guy in South Wales who loved the Sex Pistols", appearing on Jools Holland alongside Take That and dropping Slade at Download Festival in the middle of summer.Â
Plus - the time that his vest got ripped off during the first song of a show, the DJ set where there were more people on stage than in the crowd and the radio interview in which he hung up on!Â
Skindred are touring and playing all over the place in 2025 and they are working on new music as well - check out their website for all details! Note - there's lots of swearing on this episode!
19 FEB 2025 · The fantastic DJ and producer WBBL chats to Chris for episode 98 of the Worst Time Podcast, and yes this episode does feature some mild existential dread!Â
WBBL reminisces on a chaotic DJ set and an even more chaotic wedding experience, plus the special little gift he left for the Attic Bar in Bristol. Also - do we ever find out how you pronounce WBBL!?Â
Go follow WBBL on the socials to hear some more of his existential dread remixes and find out when he's DJing next!
12 FEB 2025 · A very funny episode this week as the wonderful stand up comedian Ed Night shares his worst times with Chris on the pod!Â
Ed recounts an awkward corporate zoom gig with the west coast of the USA, the time he had a chicken costume head thrown at him, the Tiki Bar experience which resulted in him getting a whole load of free tequila shots and the various jobs that he would rather forget about.Â
Ed is about to tour his show the Plunge which he claims has a higher jpm (jokes per minute) than any other show on the circuit. To go buy your tickets head to his Linktree!
5 FEB 2025 · Roll up, roll up - it's time for episode 96 of the Worst Time Podcast! And what a wild ride this one is - DJ, singer and chattyman extraordinaire Ronnie Joice joins Chris for a trip down memory lane worst time style!Â
Ronnie recounts life on the road with Pete Docherty, picking up nits, getting spiked whilst DJing, getting pulled over by the police and losing himself at festivals with Calvin Harris!Â
Ronnie can be found DJing all over the place - go find him on the socials. Also be warned, there's lots of swearing (and also bleeping) in this episode!
29 JAN 2025 · The BBC Radio 6 Music presenter, DJ and podcaster Chris Hawkins chats to fellow presenter, DJ and podcaster Chris Arnold and the pair have a grand old time in the process!Â
The Hawk recounts a whole heap of fantastic stories including meeting Prince Charles & Brian May, losing all his friends at The Big Chill Festival and having to fill in front of a massive festival crowd as he awaited Daniel Beddingfield.Â
Plus - what do you do when you're sharing a two man tent at V Festival with ITV's Kate Garraway & an additional camper tries to get in with you both at 4 'o' clock in the morning?!Â
You can listen to Chris on the radio every weekday and he has his own podcast which is called How To DJ. Go check that out on the podcast platforms!
22 JAN 2025 · The fantastic comedian & writer Lauren Pattison shares some of her worst times on the podcast for episode 94!Â
