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.

Musician, writer, and sports fan FELIX WHITE selects the five songs he will meet in Hell!
Well known as a member of the recently reunited Maccabees, and one third of the Tailenders podcast, Felix is also a great non-fiction writer. We got to talk to him about his new book, Whatever Will Be Will Be: A Matter of Life and Football in which he attended every round of last season's FA Cup. It's a great read, even for non-football fans.
As well as getting Felix's Infernal Playlist, we also talked about crowds; an early musical love; a band of "English greats" that are still overlooked; the Swedish dance band phenomenon; AND we now have a new most selected song in the history of Hellish.
