Ep 176: Naomi Paxton - World's Worst Speech

Ladies and gentlemen, pray silence for this week's episode of Worst Foot Forward - or ideally, gales of laughter as we expound on the World's Worst Speech. We are joined by Dr Naomi Paxton, performer, feminist, academic, and far too brilliant to contain in one short intro. Naomi is full of wonderful stories about rollerskating suffragettes and backtracking misogynists, while Barry finds a 53 hour sermon and Ben sits through the ramblings of William Henry Harrison, whose inauguration speech was nearly longer than his presidency.
