1h 7m · Worst Foot Forward · 26 Jun 00:00

We're firing up our operating systems this week as we search for the worst computer in history. By our side we've got host of the Probably Science podcast, finalist of Last Comic Standing and award-winning writer for The Jim Jeffries Show: it's Matt Kirshen! We head back 2000 years to chat about the Antikythera, dip our toes into the art-prank world to meet the Persistence of Chaos and welcome back an old friend of the podcast, The Mechanical Turk.
