Hellish

Today’s damned soul is comics writer and musical mage @kierongillen Kieron chooses the five songs he will meet in Hell, AND we talk about writing for comics, Star Wars, the record that Kieron has BANNED from his DJ gigs, and a song that has a ‘blah blah’ solo.

Aaaand WE’RE BACK! with a banger of an episode, as we welcome top writer/artist/actor/broadcaster/musician Siân Pattenden @sian_superman to Hell, and make her give us the five tracks that will be used to torture her for all eternity! Controversy! Madness! Doctor Who! Smash Hits!

It’s Xmas Eve, babe…in the PIRANHA tank! Because today we finish the Hellish Advent Calendar with #beetlejuicebeetlejuice fish-bitten daddy ghost @santiagoc - Santiago gives us the Christmas song he will meet in Hell. And then Alex compares it to ‘Mad Men’, so that’s fun.

December 23rd brings you a new advent minipod with actor Nina Sosanya. Nina gives us the Xmas song she cannot stand. Today’s reel is inspired by Love Actually - in which Nina appeared as Hugh Grant’s assistant Annie. (Yes, we have gone full obvious. It’s Christmas.)

December 22nd sees @BHHillustration rejoin us for an Advent Calendar minipod, giving us the Xmas song she cannot stand. Bonnie’s beautifully illustrated edition of Under Milk Wood is out now - head to bhhawkins.com to pick one up!

It’s Hell’s favourite: the darkest of day the year! A time of magic and wintry mystery! So for today’s advent (or maybe #shedvent )calendar mini-pod, who else could we bring back but writer @joannechocolat who gives us the Xmas song she cannot stand.

December 20th brings back writer Martin Stewart for an Advent minipod. Martin gives us the Xmas song he will meet in Hell - link in @hellish_pod bio! Today’s reel is inspired by the cover of Martin’s excellent crime novel ‘Double Proof’ - what a Xmas present it would make…

Today we welcome back tip-top writer @poetclare for a mini-podcast where she gives us the Xmas song she cannot stand. Clare released TWO novels this year - The Untameables, and The Modern Fairies. Both are excellent, should you have stockings that need filling!

Today’s Advent Calendar mini-pod is with Steve Swindon - he gives us several Xmas songs he can’t stand. We were guests on Steve’s podcast, Songs from a Padded Envelope recently. You can listen to that wherever you get your podcasts.
