Welcome to Hellish, the only podcast that comes to you from Hell's waiting room.
In each episode, Hell's receptionist Daniel Whelan and Satan's tea boy Alex Gale interrogate a newly damned soul, asking them for the five songs they will meet in Hell: the music that we will use to torment them for all eternity. The condemned take us through songs they are embarrassed to have once liked; songs they can't stand that are otherwise universally adored; songs that remind them of bad times; songs they hate by artists they love; and songs that once stuck in their heads, they can never get out.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Fantasy and SF writer - and genuine podcast pioneer - EMMA NEWMAN gives us the five tracks she will meet in Hell!
Emma is the Arthur C. Clarke Award nominated author of the Planetfall, Industrial Magic, and Split Worlds series of books, as well as the creator and host of the classic Tea and Jeopardy podcast. We talked about grief, swearing, public speaking, historical accuracy, and the worst job Emma has ever done.
Emma also treated us to an exciting reading from her new book, The Vengeance, which has just come out. It has pirates and ships and vampires and curse words and you can buy it here
Check out a selection of Emma's other books here
We talked about Emma's podcast Tea and Sanctuary - listen here
We didn't talk about Emma's podcast with Adrian Tchaikovsky, Starship Alexandria, because it didn't exist when we had our chat. But you can - nay, should, listen to it. It's great and it's here.
Find us on Spotify to hear the songs on Emma's Infernal Playlist in full, as well as the Ultimate Infernal Playlist which combines the choices of every damned soul we've met so far. https://tinyurl.com/hellishpod
