The Worst Time Podcast

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! 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.
